Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The h in "hacer" is silent: "ah-SEHR", not "hah-SER".
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- The h is silent.
- c before e or i sounds like s in Latin America and like the "th" in "think" in most of Spain.
- 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.
