> Mañana: "Mañana, banana" - rhymes with "banana"

Uh... Almost?

> Gracias: "Gracias, grassy ass" - sounds like "grassy ass"

This seems like it would encourage very coarse pronunciation with an obnoxious accent.

Overall this appears relatively bad. I'm not sure why they would want this to be publicly visible yet.



Mañana does rhyme with banana, what do you mean?

But yeah, the mnemonics are awful.


Probably depends on the accent you have. I'm from the US, and the way I say 'banana' doesn't rhyme with mañana, but I can imagine my English friends saying it, which would rhyme.
