Pronouncing Vowels in Spanish

If you learn how to pronounce vowels in Spanish, you can increase your accuracy in pronunciation astronomically!

A is "ah" in Ah-hah!
E is "ay" in pay
I is "ee" in thee (Y is this sound as well)
O is "oh" in Oh no!
U is "oo" in boo

If you're teaching kids this, have them memorize ah, ay, ee, oh, oo and show them flashcards of the written letter as they say its sound. For older children, you can show them how to spell out a word with these sounds. For example, the Spanish word for bank is banco and can be spelt bahn-coh to help the child visually see the sounds for the vowels. As an aided help, clap when you say each syllable.

What are the most spoken languages in the world?

Across all sources, English, Spanish and Chinese are in the top 4 most-spoken languages in the world - and those are the ones we teach! We offer preschool curriculum that teaches Spanish and another that teaches Mandarin Chinese. Both use American Sign Language (ASL) so your child will learn two languages at a time! The curriculum is available for group leaders or homeschool teachers. We also have tools to help elementary and adult students of Spanish.

We'll be posting more information on our products soon. Let me know if you're interested in learning more.
