Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: In Spain people usually say "billete" instead of "boleto".
- 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".
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
