In the Spanish language alphabet, the double ell (ll) is a separate letter
pronounced as a "y". The "a" is pronounced "ahhh" and the "i" is pronounced
"eeee".
The word is spoken in its entirety as "kah-bree-yo". The "r" is rolled on
the tip of the tongue a bit for total proper annunciation.
End of Espanol 1.
