Tips for English speakers

• The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
• ll sounds like the y in "yes" in most countries. In Argentina and Uruguay you'll hear "sh".
• c before e or i sounds like s in Latin America and like the "th" in "think" in most of Spain.
• Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
