is ciudad pronounced ciuthad? Yes and no. The intervocal 'd' is correctly interpreted IF you mean the 'th' in 'the'. The final 'd' has the same sound as the intervocal 'd'. /siuˈðað/

Los ciudad Muchachos. = the city boys (Los muchachos de la ciudad. This is the only correct placement for adjuncts (nouns that modify a noun).)

¡El no es un el sino una elle! = He is not a boy but a girl! (¡(Él) No es un chico sino una chica!)

¡Él es capitán! = he is a captain?
Es capitán = he is a captain (The sentences mean the same thing, but the first is more clear because the 3rd person is not ambiguous.)
See my notes. If you've questions about anything I wrote, please ask.
