In this beginners lesson I will show you how to pronounce those tricky Spanish vowels. Getting this right from the beginning and before you develop any bad habits will go a long way in helping you speak Spanish well.

Remember, I am using Castilian Spanish, as spoken in Spain. There are a few slight differences in Latin American Spanish - but nothing to worry about, after all - I´m British, but I can still understand perfectly well Americans.

To read my article on the differences between the two, visit our website at http://www.spanishlanguagesite.com and click on the link which you will find on that page.

You are welcome to join our SLS Spanish Club where not only will you find lots of free tips and resources to help you learn Spanish, but also where I will be on hand to help you with any language question you may have. We hope you enjoy this free lesson on pronunciation and hope to see you again soon - Hasta Luego.
