Spanish → English · a guide for Spanish speakers

For Spanish speakers, English unlocks work and study opportunities worldwide. Focus on the pronunciation of English's many vowels and the false friends between the two languages.

What to focus on as a Spanish speaker

  • English vowel sounds are much more numerous than Spanish ones — minimal pairs (ship/sheep) need ear training.
  • Watch out for false friends: "actual" means real, not current; "embarrassed" is not "embarazada".
