Here's a helpful tip I just shared with my students and I feel that it will be helpul for the community as well! As long as you can pronounce your vowel sounds effectively, and you understand how to pair them with each consonant, you will be able to enhance your pronunciation a great deal! Tip 1: Vowels in Spanish ALWAYS sound the same! Spanish is a phonetic language- so you can trust the that how you see it is how it's pronounced for the most part! However, this is only effective if you know how to pronounce the letters correctly. Let's start with Spanish vowel practice. Las Vocales: Vowels A = Ahh (like in father) E = Ehh (like in bed) I = EEE (like in bee) O = OH (as in sow) U = OOO (as in glue) Now, try pairing each consonant with each vowel and pronounce the pairings aloud. For example: with "b", say "bah, beh, bee, boh, boo" (ba, be, bi, bo, bu). Tip 2: There are exceptions to this rule so we must be aware! With "C" - it makes a "k" sound before "a,o,u"- so it sounds like "Ka, Ko, Ku". However, before "e" and "i" it changes to an "s" sound. So "Ce" and "Ci" sounds like "se" and "si". Basically, the "C" before "e" and "i" make the same sound as "s". *Now if you're in Spain - "C" before "e" and "i" sounds like "th"- more on that later! In a similar fashion, the "g" before "e" and "i" sounds like "heh" & "hee", while with the other vowels it's the regular "g" sound - "ga, go, gu" *think baby speak Practice with a voice recording and let me know in the comments if this is helpful!
