Syllables	sa · lu · dar (3)
Stress	Words ending in a consonant other than n or s stress the last syllable: DAR.

The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
A d between vowels is soft, close to the "th" in "this".
Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
