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.

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 am 1% better again because of you!

I am glad of it! Happy to help!
