Tips for Pronunciation:
1. Pronounce vowels clearly and distinctly.
2. Trill the "R" sound by curling your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and vibrating it as you exhale.
3. Pronounce diphthongs by sounding the first vowel more strongly than the second.
4. Stress the first syllable of most words.
