Words pronunciation: 0:40 (40s)

'Humano' is pronounced 'oo-MAH-noh,' not 'hyooh-MAH-noh,' nor 'yooh-MAH-noh.' 'H' is always silent in most varieties of Spanish. 'S' and 'z' never make the English 'z' sound. 'U' is always 'oo,' never 'yoo,' even in 'universidad' (oo-nee-behr-see-DAHD) and 'ocupado' (oh-coo-PAH-doh). Spanish is not English. Avoid prouncing Spanish words as though they were English ones. No 'h' sound, no 'z' sound, no 'yoo' sound (except when written as 'iu,' such as in 'ciudad,' 'ciudadano,' 'triunfo,' or 'viuda.').

el joven the young man; la joven the young woman

la tuberculosis es la primera causa mundial de muerte por enfermedades infecciosas  tuberculosis (TB) is the number one cause of death by infectious disease in the world [caused by a single agent]
