[Ansteorra] Take a moment to look it up (was Pronunciation)

[Christine Huse]

Muchas Gracias to Master Michael and Lady Miranda! I will definately take a
look at these sites!

I'm having an awful times trying to research Spain. I mostly find
information on the Conquistadors (not my interest..I learned enough about
the conquests in Junior High/High School history)
