Spanish vowels have one sound each: a = ah e= eh i = ee o = oh u = oo.

Every vowel should bepronounced (except for the u after a q [que is pronounced keh]). In Spanish, theletter j ispronounced as an English h (and the letter h is silent), ll sounds like a y (or a j in some countries), and has an ny sound (ao sounds like ah-nyo).Spanish nouns are masculine or feminine and are usually preceded byan article: la = feminine the; el = masculine the; una = feminine aor one; un = masculine a or one. Articles (and s/-es after nouns)reflect plural: las = plural feminine the; los = plural masculinethe; unas = feminine some; unos = masculine some.

Las combinaciones de letrasen ingls pueden cambiar los sonidos por completo: ck se pronunciacomo k; wr sepronuncia como r; ee se pronuncia i; qu se pronuncia cu; ai se pronuncia ey; ll se pronuncia l ; y gh no tiene sonido en medio, y al final, de lamayora de las palabras. El sonido de ch (de chico) se ocupa alcomenzar palabras, en el medio, y al final tambin.

Los sustantivos en ingls notienen gnero; se usa the para la, el, las, y los. Algunas palabras eningls a pesar de escribirse de forma diferente terminan con elmismo sonido (se pronuncian como si se escribieran igual al final):guy y pie, do y boo, throw y go, trees y breeze.
