text: This should help you:\n#1) If you ever say something wrong, and a spanish speaker doesn't understand, they WILL correct you! But they are nice about it...usually...\nPor Ejemplo: I used to say, "Quiere una receta de regalo?" (meaning prescription) when asking a customer did they want a gift receipt, (I didn't know, it just sounded right, and evertyime I asked NO ONE would ever correct me, until one day...)\nI said it to the WRONG person, she said, "Huh? Una What? Say What? Que?" I was like, "RECETA UNA RECETA!", just as wrong as I could be, really saying it all loud. Then I showed her a receipt, and she said, "Ooooooooh, es un recibo, no es una receta!" \nI finally looked up receta, and it said prescription...I felt so embarassed just thinking of all those people I said it to incorrectly.\nAs if this isn't long enough, one more thing that will be especially helpful, it helped me..\n#2) Just learn the way the vowels sound and you will be alright, speaking perfectly EVERY time, EVERY word\n\nyou see the letter "a"- it should be pronounced like "AH" (like you're opening your mouth for the doctor to check you out)\n\nyou see the letter "e"- it should be pronounced like "AY" (like I just "ATE," that long "a" sound)\n\nyou see the letter "i"- it should be pronounced like "EE" (like Didn't he just "EAT?" that long "e" sound)\n\nyou see the letter "o"- it should be pronounced like "OH" (like, do you like "OAT" bran?" that long "o" sound)\n\nyou see the letter "u"- it should be pronounced like "ooh" (like "PROVE "TO" ME "YOU" CAN "DO" IT)\nDo this and You'll be fine, trust me! It's all in the vowels!
