Introducción a la pronunciación del español familiarizes students with
the sounds of the Spanish language. The text underscores the importance
of accurate Spanish pronunciation for second language acquisition and
mastery.
Students are provided with a detailed articulatory description of each
vowel and consonant sound or segment within the Spanish language,
immediately followed by a review of common mistakes to avoid when trying
to produce each sound. ¡Pronúncialo bien! boxes throughout the book
highlight errors that can contribute to a strong foreign accent when
speaking Spanish. Readers learn strategies to avoid pronunciation
mistakes and practice correct pronunciation with the help of audio
recordings. Guided transcription exercises throughout the text provide
students with additional opportunities to practice listening, writing,
and identifying phonetic nuances in Spanish.
Developed to help students achieve greater mastery and fluency,
Introducción a la pronunciación del español is an exemplary resource for
courses and programs in Spanish.
