Pronunciation

In order to achieve an approximation to the phonetics


of some Spanish words it is necessary to resort to
complicated phonetic symbols; for that reason, the
use of a pocket book such as our Conversation
Guide, would be very restricted. The user would
have first to memorize all the phonetic symbols
before being able to use the book.

Our aim is not, therefore, to teach the traveller


correct pronounciation, but, to attain that, using the
normal English letters, s/he may make himself/
herself understood in any Spanish-speaking country.

In some cases we have preferred to sacrifice the


possibility of a smart Castilian pronounciation for
another, less smart perhaps, but more within reach
of an English-speaking person.
