Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The ñ sounds like the ny in "canyon": ah-kohm-pah-NYAHR.
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- ñ sounds like "ny", as in "canyon".
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
