Need a pronunciation key
 

This is a newby thing. I don't mind being new but would like to sound a little more like I know what I am talking about. The only Spanish I know I learned from Doria the explorer so I am handicaped at the B&M. Does anyone have a way to help me sound less ignorant?
Thanks for any help

What is it you want to know how to say? Don't worry about sounding ignorant...your cash will make the B&M not care :)

We were dicussing the same thing at a B&M friday. We were talking on how to pronounce Illusione. (Illusionay or Illusionee). Billy at the shop said he gets people who ask for CAO as "cow" and others. I have trouble sometimes with a few, but like Mugen910 said, your cash will not make them care how you say it. All else fails, ask how do they pronounce it.

The name that is most difficult for me is Por Larranaga "por la ran ya ga" . . .
try saying that! And, be sure to roll your tongue on the "R"!

That's the site I used to figure some of these out too. When I first saw "5 Vegas" I read it as "Five Vegas"...had no idea to read the 5 in spanish. :r

Re: Need a pronunciation key
 

You buying it in Spanish or in English? ;s

I am still going to call it five Vegas. :banger

Just found out last night that Dion Giolito owns the local shop that I've been getting sticks from (Fumare in Reno, NV). :) Been seeing him once or twice a week for a couple months now, and I had no idea he was the owner of the Illusione brand as well. I'd planned on stopping by his place later today to pick up a couple of them, as I haven't tried them yet. I'll get the difinitive answer for you guys. -(P

Re: Need a pronunciation key
 

I prefer to buy in English whenever possible. :D

I've just noticed that on sites like CI, they actually note next to the title (pronounced cinco vegas).
