    Pronunciation Section

    I got the Tobacconist Handbook around Christmas time and am almost finished reading it. It is a great book with tons of information.

    I would suggest that there be a pronunciation section added to the book to show how to properly say/pronounce the words that are commonly used.

    A lot of beginners to the tobacco hobby do not know how to pronounce a lot of the words associated with tobacco. Even some employees of tobacco shops don't know how to properly pronounce them. I think it would be a valuable section to add to future editions of the book.

    i like that pronunciation idea... i will look into the book version... but we are working on an audio pronunciation feature for the website, which will be very useful...

    Great idea. Until Jorge and the TU crew get the audio feature underway you could try a website that I used while studying for my certification. www.spanishdict.com/dictionary is a free site which allows you to type in a spanish word and it will return the definition and speak the word in Spanish by clicking on a icon.
