Is it just me or does "al-cu-BYER-re" not really work as a pronunciation guide? I can figure out the first two syllables, which weren't a problem in the actual word, but is 'byer' pronounced like 'buyer' or like the first syllable of 'bureaucrat'? Is 're' pronounced with a schwa or as 'ree'?

Ack, didn't consider people who didn't take Spanish in high school. :{

"Byer" is one syllable (say "bee" and "air", then say it really fast so they slur together), "re" is pronounced "ray" like in "Raymond". I'll edit it to make it clearer.
