Here are a few more tips on Spanish pronunciation that will help you along the way:
H is silent: hora is pronounced o-ra, and hola is pronounced o-la.
R is rolled, and if you have rr, then the roll is more exaggerated.
In Spanish, vowels (a, e, i, o, u) have only one sound. When you find two together, pronounce both of them in quick succession, as in aceite, a-they-te.
