Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Preocupes has four syllables: "preh-oh-KOO-pehs", not "pro-KOO-pez".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
