a, e, i, o, u
The Spanish vowels each have only one sound,
regardless of what letters they precede or follow, or
accent marks on the vowel.
a
The a is always pronounced as in the English word car.
e
The e has the sound of the e in bed.
i
The Spanish i is the same as the English long e or ee as in
see.
o
The o is always pronounced as the o in the word old.
u
The Spanish u has the sound of the English oo as in too or
the English ue as in blue.
h
The Spanish h is always silent. Thus, hola is pronounced ola
(as in cola without the c).
ñ
The ñ is the same sound as the ny pair in the word canyon. Thus, señor is pronounced like
sen-yor.
ll
The ll in Spanish is always pronounced like the English y
in yes. Thus, the Spanish word ella (she, her) is
pronounced like eh-ya.
