Welcome to PART 1 of your crash course on how to pronounce words as a beginner Speaker!
In 60ish minutes, you are going to accomplish something it took your first years of primary school to do if you are a native English speaker.
You’ll be able to pick up any menu, lyrics, or book and be able to pronounce everything correctly, even though you may not know the meaning of every word yet.
In this episode, Val and Em discuss:
✅ How Spanish is a phonetic language, you pronounce the letters always as they are written (unlike English which has 20+ letter sound combinations!)
✅ Accents in Spanish go above the vowels only. They indicate emphasis, they can also change the meaning of the word. For example, like camino (path) vs caminó (he/she walked)
✅ The H in Spanish is silent. No more saying Hola, say ola (pretend like the H is not even there)
✏️ Reto / Challenge of the week
Look up a Spanish word starting with a "H"
Pop it in the comments with your answer, we would love to see what you find. AND then out loud, try practicing pronouncing the word. Remembering, the H is silent! Pretend like it doesn't exist!
