Tips for Speaking Spanish

2024-07-10T11:39:00.000-07:00

Pronouncing the Vowels

a is pronounced like the English a in father.

e is pronounced like the English e in they.

i is pronounced like the English ee in see or i in thing.

o is similar to the English o in no but without the glide and it is rounded.

u is pronounced like the English oo in food.

Stressing Vowels

Always stress the vowel before the last syllable and prolong the length of the sound. If there is an accent mark, stress that vowel instead.

Pronouncing the Consonants

b         is pronounced the same way as it is in English.

c        is pronounced like the k in English except for words with the ción sound (nación). In that case it would be like the English word cereal. (an s sound)

ch       is pronounced like the English ch in child. (coche, Chile, mucho, ...)

d        At the beginning of a word and after n or l, the tip of the tongue is pressed against the back of your front teeth. (día, dar, el deseo, ...)
        All other words, place the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth. It is pronounced like the English th in the word they, but it is softer.

f     is pronounced like the English f.

g   At the beginning of the word or after n it is pronounced like the English word guy. (guerra, ángulo, ...)
In other words, except before e or i, it is pronounced like the English g in sugar. (lago, amigo...)

ge   is pronounced like the English ey in hey (geografía).

gi    is pronounced like the English word he but not as strong (giro).

gua   The g is pronounced like the English g but not has hard and the Spanish u and a.

gui     is pronounced like the English g and the Spanish i. (guiar)

gü      It is pronounced like the English g in guy and oo in food. It is similar to the English gw in Gwen but it is not as strong. (pingüino)

h      In the beginning of a word, it is silent.

hia   The h is pronunced like the English h in he and the Spanish a. Do not pronounce the i. (hiato)

hie   The h is pronounced like the English ye in yellow and the Spanish e. Do not pronunce the i. (hielo)

j   is pronounced like the English h in hat or hey or hoe (bajo) but not that strong. Some countries pronounce it even stronger.

k       k, c before a, o, u, or a consonant, and qu, is pronounced like the English k in key but without the puff of air.

l        is pronounced by placing your tongue on your teeth to make this letter.

y, ll    In most countries it is pronounced like the English y in yes. (oye, llama, bella, ...)
        When it stands alone, it is pronounced like the English i in thing. (hoy, y, muy, ...)

m   is pronounced like the English m in mother.

ñ      is pronounced like the English ny in canyon.

n   is pronounced like the English n.
When the n occurs before b, v, or p, it is pronounced like an m. (un brazo, comen peras, un vaso, ...)

p   is pronounced like the English p but without the puff of air.

r, rr     In the beginning of a word and after n, l, or s, and also rr in the middle of a word, are pronounced by rolling it.

           Bring your tip of your tongue near the top of your teeth and let it vibrate.

        Tip: You can practice this by placing an "a" before "rr" until you can roll them.

r    The single r is pronounced with a single flap of the tongue against the roof of mouth (like the English dd in the word ladder). (harina, cara, oro, ...)

s s, z, and c before e or i  is pronounced like the s in sing.  (vaso, cima, zapato, ...)

t    is pronounced by touching your tongue to the back of your front teeth.

v    Always pronounce the v at the beginning of a word like the English b.

     When it is before a consonant, it sounds like the English s.

z   Always pronounce the z like the English s.

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybugs everywhere! We all know this cute insect as a ladybug. It is called a ladybug, a lady beetle, or ladybird (in Britain). If you have plants or weeds, the you have one happy bug. They are hunting for bugs to eat.

If you let nature take over then there will not be all the bad pesticides that harms everything. Save your environment (and yourself and others) by having ladybugs in your garden.

MATH
Leaf Math
Cut the number of a leaf pattern you would like. For example, I cut 12 red maple leaves from Kids Domain (listed on this page). Laminate. Write various addition or subtraction problems on index cards. For example, 1+1= 1+2=,... Have the child use this as manipulatives to figure out the answer to the problems on the cards. Make an activity sheet with the problems you have on the index cards. Have them write the answers by the problem. You can have older children write the problems you have on the index cards onto a piece of paper and write the answer by each problem.

Acorn Math
Follow the above directions except use the acorn patterns located at TeachNow.com for this activity.

I have some acorn math for sale at TeachersPayTeachers. Go to the below link to view them.

Acorn
Acorn Alphabet Game
Using a frozen 12 or 16 ounce juice container, place construction paper around it. Tape the seam closed with clear plastic tape and the top with clear mailing tape. You will need to have one for each container. Make 26 acorns. Print one page and then cut out 26 onto brown construction paper. Write the lower case alphabet on one side and the upper case alphabet on the other side. Laminate or place clear contact paper on them. Have the child hunt for acorns scattered over the floor, put them in order, and say the alphabet.

Acorn Alphabet File Folder Game or Table Game
You can make separate acorns too. Use 52 pattern acorns. Write the lower case alphabet on 26 of them and then the uppercase alphabet on 26 more. Follow the above directions. Place one set in a file folder (or on a table or the floor). Match the correct letter with other matching letter.
