Tips for English speakers
Common mistake: The v sounds like a soft b and the j is a strong h: BYAH-heh, not "vee-AJ".
- j is a breathy h, a little raspier than English h.
- v sounds the same as b. Spanish has no English-style v sound.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
