I don't want to sound stupid. So how DO I
pronounce Ambergris Caye?
Also, what language is spoken here? Will I
get by with my minor Spanish and English?
This trip was made with 1 week advance notice.
Talk about spur of the moment...

"Am-BURR-jis Key".
English is fine; Spanish is helpful.
Have a great trip!

LOL ........You mean I've been saying it wrong all this time and I live here! (face is beet red now) I don't have an Ambergris Dictionary.....but I pronounce it.......
"Amber--grease Key" Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. I'd hate to look like a fool......LOL
