Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The h is silent: say "seen YEH-loh", not "seen HYEH-loh".
- y sounds like the y in "yes" in most countries. In Argentina and Uruguay you'll hear "sh".
- The h is silent.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
