Today’s Class:  APPs for practicing pronunciation Complete vowel differentiation exercises according to your needs: Speaking and Listening  “Pronunciation Plus” exercises: Unit 1: Pgs. 3-4, #2, 6, 10, 13Unit 4: Pg. 10 #2 Unit 2: Pgs. 6-7 #2, 4 Unit 5: Pgs , #2, 3, 5 Unit 3: Pgs. 8-9 #2, 3Unit 6: Pgs #1, 6, 7 Unit 8: Pgs. 18, #1, 4  Question: do you want to focus on how to pronounce words based on spelling (phonemes vs. spelling patterns)?

Some General Truths Specific to Native Spanish Speakers:  Native Spanish speakers seem to have the most difficulty differentiating the following phonemes: /i:/ as in “leak” vs. / ɪ / as in “lick” / ɒ / as in “cop” vs. / ʌ / as in “cup” /æ/ as in “sat” vs. /e/ &/ ɛ / as in “set” / ɪ / as in “fill” vs. / ʊ / as in “full” / ʊ / as in “should” vs. /u:/ as in “shoot” / ʊ / as in “full” vs. / ʌ / as in “fun”

Some General Truths Specific to Native Spanish Speakers:  Native Spanish speakers and others also have difficulty with: / ɔ : / as in “talk” vs. / ʌ / as in “tuck” / ɔ : / as in “talk” vs. / ɒ / as in “tock” / ə / as in “America” vs. / ʌ / as in “Mutton”

Some General Truths:  Any vowel that you think is the same in Spanish, like all the long vowels, in English are pronounced with less constriction, with a change or rounding/closing of the vowel at the end of the utterance (sound): LONG A- /e ɪ / (bate)- like “eeeee-i” LONG E- /i:/ (beat)- like “iiiiiiiii-y” LONG I- /a ɪ / (bite)- like “aaii” LONG 0- / ə ʊ / (boat)- like “ooo-u” LONG U- /u:/ (boot)- like “uuuu-w”

Other Spanish vs. English Differences:  Let’s practice : SHORT O (Spanish “A”)- / ɒ / (got) vs. “gato” LONG A (Spanish “E”)- /e ɪ / (mate)- pronounced like “eeeee-i” vs. Spanish “meta” LONG E ( Spanish “I” )- /i:/ (lead)- pronounced like “iiiiiiiii-y” vs. Spanish “lider” LONG O (Spanish “O” )- / ə ʊ / (bode)- pronounced like “ooo-u” vs. Spanish “boda” LONG U ( Spanish “U” )- /u:/ (choot)- pronounced like “uuuu-w” vs. Spanish “chut”

Your Homework This Week:  Take a look at all the vowels on the Phonetic Symbols chart. Come up with as many spelling patterns as you can for each one, if any. For most vowels, there should be at least 2 spelling patterns. Feel free to use any English text to help.  EXAMPLE: /a ʊ / as in “cow:” Spelling pattern: “ow” as in “cow” Spelling pattern: “ou” as in “mountain”
