LOS LÍMITES DE LA SÍLABA EN ESPAÑOL

Vowel sounds are pronounced together in a sequence, even when they’re in separate words.


Es bueno y‿es listo (es–bue-no-ies–lis-to)

Remember: h is not pronounced in Spanish, and vowels coming before or after an h are also pronounced together.


ahora [a’oɾa]	alcohol [al’kol]

Personal pronouns are not accented; auxiliary verbs, however (ser, haber, ir + a + infinitive) are.

Listen and compare the stressed and unstressed syllables.
