Looking forward to more Spanish language tips!
Ok. I will give another one which I think is difficult for English speakers.
The sound of J at the beginning of words like the name Jose or the animal Jirafa (giraffe in English ).
To pronounce it correctly you should think in the sound of H in horse.

I am 1% better again because of you!

I am glad of it! Happy to help!
reply
doesn't the j at the beginning read 'r'?
reply
Not in Spanish.
reply
I often hear the 'r' sound at the beginning. For example James Rodríguez
'Rames Rodrígues' But the sound of the first R (Rames ) is different from the second (Rodrígues)
reply
Not sure how you hear this but I can tell that his name is pronounced with the same h sound that I mentioned earlier
reply
Maybe I'm the one who misspells the English 'h'
reply
I don’t speak Spanish!

You did your research very well then!
