Some notes on the Spanish alphabet…

• In English, sometimes
  vowels take on different
  pronunciations
• Pronounce the following
  words:
  –make, fact
  –water, later
  –roaring, pouring
• In Spanish, 99.99999999%
  of the time, vowels keep
  the same pronunciation,
  making it very easy to
  pronounce the word if you
  know how each letter is
  pronounced
• If you know the
  vowels, you can
  read any word!
