    It’s alright main thing you need is the ‘r’ sound. It’s a tap of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. If you have any idea on how to roll/trill an ‘r’ it’s like that but just once. They also trill them but if you can do the tap that’ll work fine for most of it.

    ‘H’ is always silent

    Two 'L’s are a “y” sound.

    All vowels are pronounced, even when it’s two in a row. Except ‘u’ after ‘g’, unless it’s ‘ü’ ex: “bilingüe”

    And the other good thing is pronunciation is incredibly consistent, unlike English once you know the rules you should be able to correctly pronounce any Spanish word you see. There’s also less sounds than English.

        I don’t think it’s impossible for many. But it can certainly be hard to build that muscle memory which can lead to frustration. But your tongue should be physically capable of doing it.

          Not everyone’s tongue is physically capable.

          I have tried for over 10 years. Fortunately I live in a Spanish speaking country where the rr is very subtle

      Ohhhhhhh! I have a friend named Miranda and once I was around a Spanish-speaking friend of hers and when this woman would pronounce Miranda’s name, I would hear “me-landa”

      But that’s what you’re talking about! The “r” sounds have a little tap to the roof of the mouth… Okay, I’m experimenting with this, I had never noticed before how close the “n” sound was to the “l” sound…

      Thank you!
