‎The Spanish alphabet is the same as the sounds (everything is the same thing, 5 vowels a,e,i,o,u piece of cake they are always pronounced same way. For “a” open your mouth , “e” is similar to “a”, “i” is always like the word “si”, “o” is like “u” but it must be pronounced like “ohhhh” haha. How do you learn how to read in English if the vowels of the alphabet does not match the sounds? I have always been curious about it!!! Thanks!

Hi Diego. This is an excellent question, but not so easy to answer, though I will do my best. Spanish, French & Italian languages are predominately Latin-based. Latin was a language where vowel sounds were mostly pronounced in the obvious way. However, in Britain, we received lots of linguistic influences from a wide range of cultures and language bases. German, Arabic, Hindi languages have a very different way of pronouncing vowel sounds. Hence in English language we have a very quirky way of pronouncing our vowel sounds. There are some rules though albeit loose You need to have a british teacher to go through this with you , I feel I hope this helps a little 🙏🎶🌈

Search “phonics” on youtube and google. You will find overviews suitable for parents who are teaching their children to read. The material for teachers can be jargon heavy. Search for “phonemic awareness” and “phoneme-grapheme correspondence” if you want the details.

Hi Diego sorry, the interface here is rubbish now. However, if you have some specific questions thats. Good. With regards to your question, There is a fundamental difference in spelling and pronunciation between England and America. If you want me to teach you about it, let me know
