Spanish problems
I have only been learning Spanish for a year. I'm only 13. I need help pronouncing words in Spanish. I can't roll my r's very well does anybody know a good video or something that can help me? I need help mostly on pronouncing the spanish(Spain) words. I can't look at a Spanish Spain word and pronounce it. I don't know the sounds of the ais eis steis asteis etc.

Well, I have never been able to roll the Spanish RR. I am starting to think there is something wrong with me... hehe. It really isn't a big deal for me anymore, though. I have met / spoken with natives who either cannot pronounce the RR, or simple just don't do it as strongly as others. I just try my best to imitate them.
Good luck!
Try this:
A Capela voices, voices for text-to-speech conversion
Look for Spanish on language selection tab in the far left ( select from both options, spain and ''USA'' spanish, this last sounds like a mix between several Southamerican accents, but it's pretty nice also ), then just type the word in the the box labeled '' type your text here '', click on '' listen! '' and you're done.
This tool is quite a lot better than almost every other else in the web.

I live in Mexico so we don't use the second person plural which is where your example lie. The dipthongs are tough in any language. At least in Spanish the other vowels are very straight forward.
On the blue bar at the top of this page is a tab named Translate. Click on it and then type in words with the your dipthongs in them. For example Aislamiento. Then look for the Video Translation. Click on it and you will hear the word being pronounced.
Good Luck!
