Yeah, wade has a tendency to correct me all the time, He finds it fun as hell.
Well that's because you have a tendency to not be able to pronounce any of them correctly.

The one that's ALWAYS pronounced incorrectly is "robusto"

It's not ruh-bust-o
it's ruh-boost-o

2nd's good; 1st is more of a "la ree-ke-za"
I think we are both talking about the same sound, but wouldn't the "que" in la riqueza would have a long A sound? If you pronounce the -ke- in spanish that would be more of an "eh" sound, right?

Thing is, "que" in spanish sounds exactly like "ke": the "eh" finish (the "u" is something I never quite got)
