Tips for English speakers

Common mistake: The j is a throaty h: "kah-HEH-roh", not "kah-JEH-roh".

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