Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The rr is rolled: ah-boo-RREE-doh.
- The rr is rolled: the tip of the tongue flutters against the roof of the mouth.
- A d between vowels is soft, close to the "th" in "this".
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
