🎤 Pronunciation

Spanish has exactly 5 vowel sounds, and each one is always pronounced the same way — short and pure, never a glide like English "day" or "go." Tap to listen.

padre (father)
e
mesa (table)
i
isla (island)
o
sol (sun)
u
uno (one)
Word Stress
Spanish stress follows a simple default rule:
• Words ending in a vowel, n, or s → stress falls on the second-to-last syllable (e.g. ca-SA, ha-BLAN).
• Words ending in any other consonant → stress falls on the last syllable (e.g. ha-BLAR, re-loj).
• Any exception to these rules gets a written accent mark — a tilde — to show where the stress really falls (e.g. ca-FÉ, MÚSI-CA).

📖 Reading
Reading
El español se escribe casi exactamente como se pronuncia. El abecedario español tiene 27 letras, una más que el inglés: la letra ñ. Por ejemplo, la palabra niño (child) usa esta letra especial. En español, la letra H nunca se pronuncia — por eso decimos “ola” aunque la palabra se escribe hola.
English gloss: Spanish is written almost exactly as it is pronounced. The Spanish alphabet has 27 letters, one more than English: the letter ñ. For example, the word niño (child) uses this special letter. In Spanish, the letter H is never pronounced — that’s why we say “ola” even though the word is spelled hola.
Quick Check
1. How many letters does the Spanish alphabet have? (27)
2. Which letter does Spanish have that English doesn’t? (ñ)
3. Is the H in hola pronounced? (No, it’s silent)
