Spanish Pronouncition Made Easier

In this 3 week course, students will master the phonology (the sounds) of Spanish. Avoid potentially embarrassing or confusing situations! Understand all the Spanish you hear as you go about your day! Before anything else, a language is a system of sounds. Once students understand how Spanish phonology works and are able to pronounce correctly the phonemes (individual vowels and consonants) of Spanish, they will not only sound better when they speak, but will also better understand others.
