  2.8 Groups of vowels 'eo', 'ei', 'eu'

What is to be said about the vowels we already said in the chapter 2.3 groups of vowels 'ae', 'ao', 'au'. (You still remember the Spanish national dish, Paella. The two vowels must be pronounced separately, but without interrupting the airstream and not Pa-ella, as a lot of people pronounce it). Be aware that Italian vowels are always "pure", in the case of euro you notice the difference to English vowels very clearly.
