(Pronunciación) Pronunciation
Pronunciación
Success in pronunciation will allow you to:
• Aprender vocabulario más rápido (Learn vocabulary more rapidly)
• Hablar con más confianza (Speak with more confidence)
• Escuchar con más comprensión (Listen with more understanding)
Pronunciación
Spanish pronunciation offers a special feature missing in English:
It follows the rules!¡Sigue las reglas!
• Vowels are pronounced only one way
• Consonants are usually pronounced one way, and exceptions follow consistent rules
• Accent of syllables follows consistent rules, and accent marks identify exceptions
