Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The j is a throaty h: "floh-HEH-rah", not "flo-JER-uh".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- j is a breathy h, a little raspier than English h.
- 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.
