Help[Opinions] Wrong information about Spanish pronunciation
in reply to a message by Molina
In Spain (just as in Spanish speaking America), Elvira is pronounced [el'bira] (ehl-BEE-rah).
In Spanish:
the letter E is always pronounced [e] (eh)
the letter V and the letter B both are pronounced [b]
the letter A is always pronounced [a] (ah)
The sound of the A in the English word fall doesn't exist in Spanish. It exists in Catalan (o oberta) and in Galician, but NOT in Spanish and, of course, in these languages is represented graphically by an O, not by an A.
Stop giving wrong information, please. You have not a problem of expression in English, you have a problem with the information you are giving.
