Shark – el tiburón

(Pronounced tee-boo-rohn)

To remember that shark is pronounced tee-boo-rohn (tiburón) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The shark's teeth were beautiful, but it would be wrong (tiburón) to get too close.

Tiburón is masculine, so it's el tiburón. Imagine an elephant in shark infested waters.
