Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Keep the ñ: "peh-KEH-nyoh", not "peh-KAY-no".
- ñ sounds like "ny", as in "canyon".
- A d between vowels is soft, close to the "th" in "this".
- 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.
