How do you pronounce "joya". It's Spanish for jewel, but I don't know how to pronounce it.

It is pronounced "ho-ya". Try typing it in the dictionary above, it also has a pronunciation function in both English and Spanish.

es un sonido gutural, es casi como una r pero en vez de pronunciarla en la lengua, el sonido viene de la garganta
