Hint: All spanish is pronounced just like it's spelled. Some of the 
letters might have different pronunciation than you expect, yes, but 
it's amazingly consistent ever since some Spanish bishop in the 1690's 
(IIRC) did the opposite of what the French do, and said "this is a mess 
- let's make it consistent."
