Pronunciation
From Tomísimo
The following is an attempt to duplicate the sounds made by those who have Spanish as their native language:

Vowels
- a = ah like the a in father
- e = eh like the first e in ever
- i = ee like the double ee in green
- o = oh like the o in okay (pure vowel - stop short of adding oo sound)
- u = oo like the double oo in boo
Consonants
Consonant sounds are not as universal in nature as are the vowel sounds. Some consonants vary by virtue of the country, region, or area where Spanish is spoken.
For example in certain countries the double ll is pronounced as a y as in the word yesterday. ¿Cómo se llama? sounds like Kohmoh seh yama in Mexico and Central America. But in Argentina and Uruguay it would sound like Kohmoh seh zhama (the zh being the sound of z in the word azure.)
