Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The accent on í splits it into three syllables: sahn-GREE-ah.
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- The accent on í keeps it in its own syllable, so sangría has 3 syllables.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
