Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Hay sounds like English "eye": "noh EYE proh-BLEH-mah", not "no HAY pro-BLEM-uh".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- The h is silent.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
