Please invade Houston, I have terrible Spanish pronunciation but I'll learn.
She's working on it:
Mexico's president claps back at Trump, suggests new name for U.S. — America Mexicana
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.
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!
Make "Te-hass" Mexican Again!
Did you know hispanic people have the majority ethnicity in Houston? I'm not sure how all of the non-mexican hispanics would feel about Mexico reclaiming any part of Texas, though.
They should split up the us between mexico and canada. The rest is a desert anyways you can keep that.
