Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Keep the ñ: say "AH-nyoh", not "AH-no", which means "anus".
- ñ sounds like "ny", as in "canyon".
- v sounds the same as b. Spanish has no English-style v sound.
- 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.
