Explanation
Each vowel keeps its full color in every position, stressed or not: teléfono has four clear vowels. English speakers must kill the schwa habit (banana ≠ banaena) and the gliding (no → [no], not [noʊ]).
French speakers start ahead but must drop nasalization (un, en are vowel + consonant, never nasal vowels) and the French u: Spanish u = ou.
