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.
