Hi William,
Thank you for leaving the comment!
Just a few notes:
"I like the phrase..." is "Eu gosto da frase..." or "Gosto da frase..."
Before the feminine singular noun “frase” (phrase) we need to use “da” (contraction of the preposition “de” plus the feminine singular article “a”). Please also don’t forget to use the accent in the word “é” here: "...porque é verdade.".
If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hello Raul,
Thanks for your message.
An -r at the beginning of a word makes a [h] sound like in "house". In Spanish the "j" sound is similar (as for the words "José" and j (jota).
Here's a lesson about Portuguese Pronunciation to help you practicing even more:
