ARE YOU A "PRIVATE" PERSON? The British are generally more "private" than the Spanish. Spanish people are generally very open and talkative which is wonderful. The word "private" often causes Spanish people a few problems, however. The problem is this case is pronunciation. Most Spanish people say: "I would like "preeevate" classes". The correct way to say this is "pr"EYE"vate". So the sound that you need to use in this word is: ojo en ingles: eye!!! You might think that this type of small pronunciation issue is not that important, which in a way I would agree with you, but many Spanish people are misunderstood, or not even understood at all, just because of small pronuncations mistakes! Hope that helps!
