Thanks, Gene!

I thought of you when adding that little horn...  jajaja.  Cada madrugada when I wake up to el gorjeo de los pajaros (or mi amorsote?), before my first cup of joe, I record those pronunciations for the benefit of all to hear.  If you like I could record them a little slower after my 1st sip of hot coffee?

📢  versus  📢 

Does that make it easier to catch the pronunciation?  Or would you prefer it at sort of normal talking speed?
