    hola, ive decided to take up spanish, just started regular -ar verb endings, just a quick question on pronunciation, first off for the informal plural you "vosotros" the ending is -áis, its the accent throwing me, anyone able to give me a phonetic rendition of how roughly it should go? maybe in relation to the verb hablar so "vosotros habláis" also, for the "nosotros" ending of -amos is that "o" more along the lines of "moe" or is it more like "moss"?
    any help would be great,

    go raibh maith agaibh

    To be honest depends on the Spanish you want to learn Spain Spanish or Latin American Spanish they don't use "vosotros" or that "áis" ending over here, although in Argentina they say "vos" as opposed to "tu". Overall there are tons of differences in pronunciation and words.

    áis- the stress is on the tilde á hablAis and the i is like e in "geese"

    if you google it you'l get a better definition but thats the idea
