Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Reunión is three syllables: "rreh-oo-NYOHN", not "ree-YOON-yun".
- 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.
