pronunciation problems

J (to M): How do you say "what"? 

M: o que

J: No, like "What's your name?"

M: Qual

J: That's hard

M: No it's not. Just try to say "quail" with a mouth full of marshmallows. Qual

J: Qual. Hey! It works! Qual e seu nome?

Thanks, Rosetta Stone. I can now learn someone's name!
