Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Breathy j, and ll like y: heh-ree-KAH-yah, not "jer-i-KAL-a".
- 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.
- ll sounds like the y in "yes" in most countries. In Argentina and Uruguay you'll hear "sh".
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
