Step 1

The 5 Spanish Vowels

Spanish only has 5 vowel sounds (English has like 15!). And they never change. Once you learn these, you can pronounce almost any Spanish word. Tap each card to see example words.

Pro tip from Fer: Spanish vowels are short and crisp. Don't drag them out like in English. β€œNo” is a quick β€œnoh” β€” not β€œnooooh” πŸ˜„

Step 2

4 Mistakes Every Beginner Makes

These are the pronunciation traps that make you sound like a textbook. Avoid them and you'll sound way more natural from day one.

βœ—
Pronouncing "H"
βœ“H is always SILENT in Spanish
"hola" = "oh-lah" (not "ho-lah")

Think of it as a ghost letter β€” it's there but you never hear it! πŸ‘»

βœ—
English "R" sound
βœ“Spanish R is a quick tongue tap (like "butter" said fast)
"pero" = tongue taps the roof of your mouth

Say "butter" fast in English β€” that "tt" sound is close to a Spanish R!

βœ—
Saying vowels the English way
βœ“Spanish vowels NEVER change β€” "a" is always "ah"
"a" in "casa" and "banana" sounds the same

This is the #1 thing that makes you sound more natural instantly.

βœ—
Stressing the wrong syllable
βœ“Look for accent marks β€” they tell you where to stress
"mΓΊsica" = MU-si-ca, "cafΓ©" = ca-FE

No accent mark? Stress the second-to-last syllable (most of the time).

Step 3

Practice These 6 Words πŸ—£οΈ

Say each one out loud. Seriously β€” reading Spanish silently doesn't count! Use the pronunciation guide and try to sound it out.

Hola

Hello
πŸ”Š
OH-lah

πŸ’‘ Remember: H is silent!

Gracias

Thank you
πŸ”Š
GRAH-see-ahs

πŸ’‘ The "ci" sounds like "see"

Buenos dΓ­as

Good morning
πŸ”Š
BWEH-nohs DEE-ahs

πŸ’‘ Accent on the "Γ­" in dΓ­as

Por favor

Please
πŸ”Š
por fah-VOR

πŸ’‘ Stress the last syllable

Mucho gusto

Nice to meet you
πŸ”Š
MOO-cho GOO-stoh

πŸ’‘ U is always "oo"

Agua

Water
πŸ”Š
AH-gwah

πŸ’‘ Both A's sound the same: "ah"

🎯 Try saying all 6 without looking at the pronunciation guide. You're already sounding more natural!
