Wheel – la rueda

(Pronounced rweh-dah)

To remember that wheel is pronounced rweh-dah (rueda) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The wheel on the racing car came flying off; the runaway tyre causing damage (rueda) as it rolled down the track.

Rueda is feminine, so it's la rueda. Imagine a lady changing the wheel on a car after a puncture.
