Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The u is silent: kohn-seh-GEER, not "kon-seh-GWEER".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- gu before e or i is a hard g; the u is silent.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
