Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The g is a throaty h: rroh-HEH-lyoh.
- The r at the start of a word (or after n, l or s) is rolled: the tip of the tongue flutters against the roof of the mouth.
- g before e or i is a breathy h, a little raspier than English h.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
