DARMELA
HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT'
3 Answers
All words in Spanish are pronounced according to some very simple rules (i.e. each letter has only one sound depending on the combinations it forms), and once you know them is like reading numbers: once you know how to read 56, reading 56,000 is the same, but followed by the word thousand. There isn't anything like child / child...ren in English, where by adding more letters, you have to reconsider the whole pronunciation.
How to give you the pronunciation without sounds? Some people use English chunks of letters separated by dashes to approximate the pronunciation, but the result sounds horrible, believe me. If you know the international phonetic alphabet, which is a lot more accurate than the former method, I can write it for you if you want, but it will look almost like writing in Spanish: /'damela/. Note: the /d/ must be pronounced touching the upper teeth.
