    Me gustan los memes españoles.

    Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish. Makes me laugh every time I hear one of my friends say it in spanish.

      It’s more like meh-meh, our vowels don’t have additional sounds.

      For more accurate pronunciation you can think of Spanish vowels as if they had an ‘h’ at the end.

      Ah

      Eh

      Ih

      Oh

      Uh

        Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn’t give the right sound for native english speakers. I would transcribe these vowels using american english like so:

        A = ah : rhymes with ma

        E = ay : rhymes with hey

        I = ee : rhymes with tree

        O = oh : rhymes with blow

        U = oo : rhymes with shoe

      Why do y’all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?
