computer generated pronunciation of "pie" (and "foot")
I am sorry; I asked this yesterday but put it in the wrong category. I am not asking how to pronounce the Spanish "pie", I am reporting what I believe to be a problem with the pronunciation in the dictionary. It really sounds like "play". Oddly, even the English word "foot" sounds like "flet". It's as if somebody put the wrong sounds together when making those words. You may delete my corresponding question in the Vocabulary and Grammar category. Thank you.

Not sure where you're coming from, but from where I sit,
el pie (en Español) = foot (in English)
los pies (en Español) = feet (in English)
pie (in English) can be empanada, torta, tarta (en Español) cake (in English) can be pastel or tarta (en Español), there may be more depending on what country.
Well in my class empanada is closed pie,like apple pie,and cake,or closed pie, is pastel.Just to clear up anything
You are correct regarding empanada being a 'closed' pie, but typically it is referring to some type of meat pie, in Colombia at least. The last empanada I had was potatoes and pork. I'm not sure if empanada is the same in Mexico. Other 'closed' pies that are sweet or contain fruit are usually referred to as a 'torta' or 'tarta'.
