Tips for English speakers

Common mistake: The h in "hora" is silent: "ah keh OH-rah", not "ah kay HOR-uh".

• The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
• The h is silent.
• qu sounds like k; the u is silent.
• Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
