This lesson was recorded on location in NY, USA.
Which sounds are the hardest to pronounce for you? The “ere” and the “erre” present problems for a lot of people. Here’s the “trabalenguas” (tongue-twister) that we went over in the lesson. See how fast you can say it:
Erre con erre cigarro,
erre con erre barril.
Rápido corren los carros,
cargados de azucar del ferrocarril

Hi, it’s not possible to open the audiofile of this lesson. Phonetics lesson 2 is also missing.
best regards

I had asked about the second Phonetics lesson on the forums earlier in the week, and have yet to receive a reply. I can navigate directly to the second lesson by “guessing” at the URL http://www.spanishpod101.com/learningcenter/lessons/phonetics_lesson_2/
While the lesson guide is available, none of the audio files for lesson 2 can be found. Neither can the audio files be downloaded via iTunes.
I have really enjoyed using this service so far, but I sincerely hope these issues get resolved soon.
Thank you.

Hello!
I like a lot this lesson, it´s very usefull to understand the Spanish pronounciation. Most of foreign people has troubles to pronounce the “R” , this “R” has a lot of vibration if you compare it with the english “R” wich is very smooth.Try this … “Un carrito rojo pasó por la carretera haciendo carrera”, or this “En un plato de trigo comen tres tristes tigres trigo” , try this often and will be ready with spanish “R” !!

Claudia,
Glad you liked the lesson! Those tongue-twisters look like they’ll be good practice! Has anyone tried them yet? What did you think?
Saludos,
Joseph
