Pronunciation

• helado/eˈlado/

  The h is silent: it's pronounced as if it started with e.

• regadera/reɡaˈdeɾa/

  The first r is strong and the second is soft; the stress falls on 'de'.

• ruido/ˈrwido/

  The r at the start is strong and 'ui' goes together: RUI-do, two syllables.

• seguido/seˈɡido/

  The g sounds like the g in 'go', never like the Spanish j.
