I can pick out the th sound with the c. I'll play around. I got my wireless for my BN and read some Spanish news on yahoo spain and google news. That's a good way to practice. I'll get back on and play some more after my last day of class tomorrow! So maybe on Monday. I'll try to post in Spanish to the list then too. Hope you guys are doing well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Kennedy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 11:22 PM Subject: re: [Braillenote] Keynote Spanish
the c and z in braillenote spanish do sound like es's. That is how the keynote pronounces them It's a mixture between castilian and latin american i think.
