Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Stress the í: een-kreh-EE-bleh, not "in-KRED-ih-bul".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- The accent on í keeps it in its own syllable, so increíble has 4 syllables.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
