First of all, let's correct some English! The English word is Spanish. The country is Spain.
The Spanish word is "alquilar" = to rent.
Spanish is a very easy language once you get the sound system down, and fortunately, that is EASY once you learn the basics.
The vowels in English a, e, i, o, u are NOT pure vowels. They are actually dipthongs = a combinatin of 2 sounds. a = aaaaaauh, etc. In Spanish, they are PURE.
a = ah (as in surprise!)
e = a (just like the first letter of the American alphabet)
i = e (just like the American alphabet's fifth letter)
o = clear crystal o (NOT oh)
u = oooooo, rhymes with too, boo, you
Mostly a "gringo" mispronounces a vowel rather than a consonan t.
qui in Spanish is just like "key" in English
que is like "k" or "kay" from "okay"
syllable by syllable this "alquilar" is (and I HATE representing a foreign word with English spelling1) al (aaahl)-qui (key) + lar (lar) like lard without the "d"
Put it all together and the stress (sounded accent, not written) is on the last syllable.
al-qui-LAR
If you know anyone who speaks Spanish and would put the words on a tape for you with a space afterward you could have a good practice!
