How do you pronounce pregunta?

To add a word of warning to Quentin's response; ignore the slow (syllable by syllable) pronunciation given by the speaker and focus on the pronunciation of the word in context (the quality of the 'g' changes).

Without special training/effort, it is very difficult to speak slowly without distorting the sounds.The recorded speakers are all native speakers of Spanish and their pronunciation is, usually, quite reliable. However, when they slow down, it's a different matter entirely. In some cases they make the same changes that almost any Spanish speaker would make (still, possibly, misleading). In other cases (these speakers are all native Spanish speakers but have been living in the U.S. for a while and have been subject to the "corrupting" influence of English) and they make changes that reflect the impact of English.

La señorita will pronounce it for you. Just click on the arrow or the speaker icon. (in the dictionary; not in my picture)

The dictionary also includes phonetic spellings of the words: [pray-goon’-tah]
