Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Both ll's sound like y: "pah-SEE-yoh", not "pah-SIL-oh".
- ll sounds like the y in "yes" in most countries. In Argentina and Uruguay you'll hear "sh".
- 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.
