Pronouncing English

One of the hardest things for Spanish people who are learning English is how to pronounce it.

In my opinion, you should take it slowly. First, you need to know the alphabet; I know it sounds silly, but that MUST be the first step, because it will help you with lessons. If you are doing this on your own, you can skip it.



Second, you need to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet. Take your time, because this will make it easier for you to pronounce any word you check in your dictionary. I have found this website quite useful, even if it is very simple: http://www.antimoon.com/how/pronunc-soundsipa.htm
