"ee-ha" is the correct pronunciation, I believe.

"ee-ha" is the correct pronunciation, I believe.

That's not a phonetic pronunciation, but a pseudo-phonetic aberration, and the main reason why Americans have the worst Spanish pronunciation in the world: because you can't pronounce Spanish with English sounds.

The correct phonetic pronunciation is /'ixa/.

Have you not told that Spanish spelling IS already a phonetic spelling?

ija. just like that. if you are in new york and talking to a p/r new yorker, you call it mija....pronounced meha

No, it is not pronounced meha... at all!!!

It takes only about 13 rules (very little time) to learn how to read Spanish. Just learn those rules:
