Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The h is silent: "AH-seh SOHL", not "HAH-say".
- The h is silent.
- 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.
