Phonetics Lessons 
Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Welcome to the tenth edition of the Phonetics Series, the only place to learn exactly how the Spanish language is pronounced. In today’s lesson, Beatriz and Joseph talk about some different kinds of sentences and how the tone of the voice needs to change for each. Have you every thought about the fact that we can say the same sentence with different melodies and produce different meanings? For example, think about the differences between “It’s time to go.”; “It’s time to go?” and “It’s time to go!” The same thing happens in the Spanish language. In this lesson, you’ll learn exactly how the tone of the voice can alter the meaning of a sentence. ¡Suelta la lengua con SpanishPod101.com!
Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Today, we have Part 2 of our look at how words in Spanish sound blended together. Most newcomers to the language tend to think that this is merely the result of having a small vocabulary or a less than fine-tuned ear; however, as this lesson shows, words in Spanish blend together by way of a number of phonetic combinations. Today, we’ll take a look at how consonants can cause this blending effect. Be sure to pick up the Lesson Guide for this lesson, in which you’ll be able to see these fusions graphically. This is one of the most important phonetics lessons for anyone who’s just starting to learn how to pronounce Spanish!
