The most important sounds of Spanish. AGAIN
¡Hola gente! ¿Did you watch the Super Bowl 50? Go Broncos!!!!! Last month we empathized the most important sounds of español: A – E – I – O – U.
This month I am going to share some words that begin with those letters, with those vowels. I am gonna tell you a name of a woman, a name of a man, a place, an animal and a thing.
Just remember: The Spanish vowels each have only one sound, regardless of what letters they precede or follow, or accent marks on the vowels.
