Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The v sounds like a soft b: moh-BEHR, not "MOO-ver".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- v sounds the same as b. Spanish has no English-style v sound.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
