Tips for English speakers

Common mistake: The j is a throaty h: "eh-kee-PAH-heh", not "eh-kwi-PAJ".

• The r at the start of a word (or after n, l or s) is rolled: the tip of the tongue flutters against the roof of the mouth.
• j is a breathy h, a little raspier than English h.
• qu sounds like k; the u is silent.
• Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
