And the "c" is pronounced like the "th" in "thing". At least when you're Spanish and not South American ;)

It's not "sir" it's more like the word "air" with an S in front.
S -air -vahn - tay -s
And make sure all of your vowel sounds are short. Trill the "r" a little if you can.

The "C" is pronounced like an "S".
