Help saying the color orange?

I need help saying the color orange. Which is naranja. Does anybody have a way to break it down for me to remember how to say it? I listen to the woman say it and I just cant get it. Someone please help! Thanks! =)

Answer 1

nah-rahn-ha

Have a look at this, very clear pronunciation, by a native speaker.
