The 'OR' Ending

In Spanish, adding '-or' to a root word often points to the person who does the action. It's just like how we add '-er' in English for words like 'worker' or 'teacher'.

The Sound of V

Even though this word is spelled with a 'v', in Spanish, it sounds exactly like a 'b'. Try saying 'een-ben-TORE' with a soft 'b' sound.

Using the English 'V'

Mistake:Pronouncing 'inventor' with a vibrating English 'v' sound.

Correction: In Spanish, 'v' and 'b' are identical sounds. Pronounce it as if it were spelled with a 'b'.
