Watching soccer with a British commentator is wild. It's like they try to pronounce Spanish names as poorly as possible out of defiance.

The thing that gets me when I try to explain Spanish pronunciation to English speakers is that when I tell them the vowels are always pronounced the same way, it goes in one ear and out the other. You are literally making it harder on yourself by applying English spelling rules to it than if you just memorized 5(!) vowel sounds.
