Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: Stress the í: "toh-dah-BEE-ah", not "toe-DAH-vee-uh".
- v sounds the same as b. Spanish has no English-style v sound.
- A d between vowels is soft, close to the "th" in "this".
- The accent on í keeps it in its own syllable, so todavía has 4 syllables.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
