Common Mispronunciations of Estrella
Not ES-truh-luh
The middle beat carries the name, so the opening e is short and quiet.
Not e-STRAY-yuh
English settles on a plain l for the ll and on the e of bed for the stressed vowel.
Tip: Spanish stresses the same beat, es-TRE-ya, so only the ll changes when the name crosses into English.
