Spanish "d" between vowels

Spanish "d" between vowels

Sometimes in Spanish words when the d is between 2 vowels, it has the English sound "d" and other times it has the sound "th". Have I got this wrong? Any general pronunciation rules to follow regarding this?

There is a guide to Spanish pronunciation here

I hope it helps. Spanish pronunciation may seem confusing, but in most cases it is very logical.

At least they don't have five different vowel sounds for "a" smile

or the 3 Os in "tomorrow" + or a schwa.for the first and last ones. - ian-hill, Feb 16, 2012
Haha, totally agree. Pronunciation in English, specially vowel sounds, is hell. Spanish one is very basic and logical. - JuanPabloW, Feb 21, 2012
