Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: A rolled first r and a final eh: rrohm-POH-peh, not "rom-POPE".
- 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.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
