Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Both the j and the g are a throaty h: HOHR-heh.
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- j and g before e or i are a breathy h, a little raspier than English h.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
