Making Plurals from -Z
This word is the plural of 'juez.' When a Spanish word ends in 'z,' you change the 'z' to 'c' and add 'es' to make it plural (e.g., 'pez' becomes 'peces').
Pronunciation of J
Mistake: “Pronouncing the 'j' sound like the soft 'j' in English (as in 'jeep').”
Correction: The 'j' in Spanish is a strong, guttural 'h' sound, similar to the 'ch' in the Scottish word 'loch'.
