Why Spanish names sound the way they do
- Every vowel is pure and short — a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = oh, u = oo. No gliding.
- J and the soft G are an H sound — Julián → hoo-lee-AHN, Giménez → hee-MEH-nehs.
- Ñ is ‘ny’ (as in canyon), and ll / y are a ‘y’ — Yamal → yuh-MAHL.
- The rolled R is just a normal American ‘r’ for us, and a final -z is said ‘s’ (Fernández → fehr-NAHN-dehs).
