Stream – el arroyo

(Pronounced ah-rroh-yoh)

To remember that stream is pronounced ah-rroh-yoh (arroyo) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The stream was too small for a rowing race, so they played with their yo-yo's (arroyo) instead.

Arroyo is masculine, so it's el arroyo. Imagine a huge elephant bathing in a small stream.
