No need to argue.
Just change the last sound to 'oh'.
Okay Samide,
Lighter could be defined as like Spanish "A" sounds like (With English pronouncing) "AH" that is the type of stuff that we are talking about, does that make since now''
Most of the English pronouncing is lighter than in Spanish
As a native speaker of English and a (reasonably) proficient speaker of Spanish (since we're talking about pronunciation)), I have no idea what you mean by "lighter".
You're welcome! 
Well no that is not off topic because that is what I have been talking about to lazarus here recently.
I really need to read more of the previous posts! Thanks for the affirmation that I am not too crazy.

'Lighter' defined as...?
Our b is softer, our t is softer, our c is softer, our d is softer,...
I'm curious.
In English the letter "C" is pronounced like "Sí" and the Spanish "A" is alot harder than the English "a" so mabey not every word but there are some that are lighter than in Spanish. It looks like the English "C' is softer because it does not take as long to say it as in the Spanish "C' is like "Say" and as what I said about the English "C"
In regards to the "C" I have noticed that the way it is pronounced when it is before an "i" or an "e" that the C sound is like a "th" in english. I never knew this and had always pronounced it like an "s" sound. I know it is a little off topic but I thought it was interesting.
Not quite, Jason. The soft "C" in Spanish (before "i" & "e") has a sound similar to the English "S" sound. It is the Spanish "Z" that has a sound similar to the hard (non-vocal) "th" sound in English, and that only in Spain and maybe a few other places. Everywhere I have been in North, Central, and South America where Spanish is spoken, there is very little difference between the pronunciation of "S", "C", and "Z". In fact, it is very common to see misspellings involving substitution among these three letters.
Interesting thank you for your input.

I should have said, Intentaré el sitio ahora.
Not a big deal: it was understandable.

Try "http://www.acapela-group.com/". Not all the voices are perfect, but some of them are surprisingly accurate. Some of the Spanish reproductions are so good, that sometimes I think it is a person (sometimes it sounds artificial, of course).
The sound in Spanish is neither the "r" of English nor the "d" (nor, for that matter any other sound in English). If one absolutely must choose among English sounds, the "d" is more similar in its manner of articulation. A better course would be to listen to an actual Spanish speaker (e.g. the link that Nathaniel provided [although that speaker has the wimpiest final "a" that I've ever heard). For the sound of "r" in various phonetic contexts you could also try http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/#. Select "vibrantes" and then the "r" on the left and then the "arrow" in the right panel to hear several words with the "r" sound.
I like the site thanks!
