English Pronunciation Problems and Mistakes Spanish Speakers Make
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- This video is a complete pronunciation guide on all the English pronunciation problems that Spanish speakers (mostly from mainland Spain) have and the pronunciation mistakes that Spanish speakers make in English. I also mention pronunciation mistakes and problems that Catalan speakers commonly have as well, simply because I used to live near Barcelona and I'm familiar with the Catalan language. :)
I've put a lot of time, energy, and effort into this video. So I really hope you enjoy it!

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

I'm Chilean (Spanish speaker), I realized that we speak very fast and we use to cut words when I moved to New Zealand and I met other Spanish speaking backpackers 😅.
This video is awesome!
Ps: I loved when I saw Pikachu in the video ⭐
YEAHHH, he was a cheeky addition made by my editor. :D haha.
And thank you!
As Italian I've taken useful, cause we read like spanish do, thanks for teaching Emma, u explain perfectly😊
Muchísimas gracias, soy de Argentina, y la verdad no sólo esos errores afectan a los españoles, nosotros tenemos unos problemas con la pronunciación de la “y” y de la doble “l”, ya que las pronunciamos como una “sh” (lo llamamos yeísmo). También, nuestro acento es capaz, el más fuerte de America Latina, ya que pronunciamos muy fuerte las palabras a comparación del inglés, a veces me cuestan pronunciar algunos sonidos cómo los del video. Pero de a poco voy aprendiendo a modular mejor 💗
Yes, I mention the "y" and "sh" (or sometimes "j") problem in the video. It's a VERY common one :) As for accents, I would say that you "suffer" just as much as people from Spain, sadly! :) haha
Se llama yeismo REHILADO, yeistas a secas, lo somos hoy en día, casi todos los demás hispanohablantes, salvo en Argentina y es la pronunciación habitual de la doble ele. Antiguamente se pronunciaba como hoy aún se pronuncia en zonas de Perú, una especie de GL italiana y los que pronunciaban Y como esa LL eran lleístas y al revés, los que pronunciaban la LL como Y eran yeístas. Para los dos sonidos argentinos, sordo y sonoro se le añadió el adjetivo rehilado para distinguirlo.
@@Pronunciationwithemma Was it difficult for you to learn to pronounce the first sound that is in words like "Jamón " O "Justicia". Greetings from Argentina.
Thanks a lot. I would like the educators could teach pronunciation like you in class. Until now unfortunately no teacher focuses on the sounds of English. I'll share this video with my family. We live in Argentina and you have mentioned all the mistakes we make.
Great lesson, Emma!
Thank you
Yeah you are right.We have so many mistakes when we speak...Sometimes its hard for us to pronounce some words.The Grammar its easy if you compare,but the phonetic...That has not sense....But i hope to can improve with the time...
Anyway Thank you for your support,you are awesome!
You will!! Keep practising! ^_^
I found you October 29/2022. And I love it. I am a Spanish speaker!! So funny to see my mistakes.
Definitivamente prendí muchas cosas con este video, sobre todo la parte de la "H", bastante diferente en su pronunciación. Excelente, más vídeo asiiiiii 👍👍👍👍
simplemente genial, gracias
It is very useful!!! Thank you Emma!!😊😊
This is a beautiful lesson!!Thank for giving us this 💎
Emma, this video is going to help me a lot, specially to understand the differences in vowel length. Thank you sooo much, you are an amazing English teacher. Greetings from Mexico!
I've really liked this video Emma. Thank you very much.
Thank you Emma. Your vídeos help me a lot.
Very interesting lesson ! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so so much Emma!
It's an interesting video. You show us, Spanish speakers, when we really have to make the vowel and consonant sounds correctly if we want to be understood. I always keep learning with you, Emma. You are a great teacher.
You are a lovely teacher ,learning a lot with your videos, many thanks
Thanks for the lovely lesson, Emma :)
Gracias por este video Emma!! tengo la suerte que hablo catalán y muchos sonidos los puedo hacer bien. Viendo tus videos me he dado cuenta que tengo que corregir otros sonidos como la t y la d que los hacía muy dentales; también fijarme mucho en la "th". Hace muchos años corregí el sonido de SPain( nos lo enseñaron mal en el a escuela y tenemos muchos malos hábitos de pronunciacion..una pena porque luego cuesta el corregirlos). Estoy contenta porque los sonidos de las vocales cada vez los reconozco más y tus vídeos han ayudado mucho, imito como pones la boca y la lengua y te imito. Gracias de nuevo por todas tus enseñanzas. Que pases un feliz dia Emma
This video is really useful for me, thank you so much for making this video

Really you are excellent teaching.....
THANKS a lot you Emma, i have been waiting for this for a long time. We natvie spanish speakers are grateful and we are more than 500 million people ;)
let's hope those 500 million people find this video. Please do share it :)
Thank you so much for doing this
I love your work
Bravo Emma 👏👏
it is very important class for us.
Emma you are amazing 🤩
Amazing!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video. When I first started learning English the most difficult speech sounds to pronounce were the schwa( getting used to it) and the /I/ . Fortunately, it's not that difficult as it seems .
I like the methodology you use to teach
Thanks teacher
Guapísima profesora
you are the best teacher
Emma, this is an excellent lesson, you know the problems very well and also give clear examples about what is wrong. This is a very important lesson, you could make many more lessons related to this topic dividing them by specific problem, I believe if you do that it will be a successful one as this one.
yes! :D
My tutor thanks a lot
Una excelente profesora y muy linda 😊❤
Hi Emma! Thank you for the lesson on pronunciation. Great content!
I'm in currently studying linguistics and I'm particularly interested in phonology research. I was wondering if there could be any seminal studies you might be familiarised with to investigate further into pronunciation problems of people from Spain learning English as an L2. I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
Looking forward to know more. Subscribed!!
Thank You so much ❤️
Language learning..
Language is a cultural material and it is an increase in the level of intelligence to a distinct degree, and the material of this educational video, it is learning to pronounce the letters by issuing the correct sound in pronouncing the letter, an education from a beautiful and intelligent teacher - thank you very much.
Please make videos on english grammar ..your teaching style is outstanding.I want to learn english grammar,this will be a best platform for us to learn grammar.
Hi! I'm a Fiverr singer from Argentina and I have to say your videos are helping me a lot to improve my english and make customers happy!!! Thank you!!!
That's great! :D
The sounds were SH and ZH. Thank you.
EXCELLENT! The most benefitial video I've ever seen so I'll share in order to help more people. Personally I have a bit difficulty with the sounds JUice , viSION, Zoo. But I'm quiet it's only a temporary " bad luck" I ought to keep practicing.
You're THE QUEEN. ❤❤😙😙😙😙 a huge hug from Argentina by the way a WONDERFUL COUNTRY
This is the best video i have seen about spanish!
Thank you so much!!
I love your Videos 😊❤️❤️
Welcome 🤗😊😃
Spain is just a fraction of the Spanish speaking community Emma. I'd say this is useful for all Spanish speakers. Thank you for all your time and effort making this guide, I found it extremely helpful.
I said at the start of the video that it was fine for all Spanish speakers, no matter where they are from.

Dearest Emma I tried to download complete phonemic chart but from the given link I can't....with much more respect and love from Pakistan
Thanks
Hi mrs.emma , thanks for u videos , thanks ,i am from Indonesian country.
this is good also for Italian 😍
Best video ever
Ay ay ay ay ay... que chulada de video!!Muy informativo. Muchas gracias. Cómo sabes tanto?
I've been learning Spanish for over 8 years 😄
@@PronunciationwithemmaBueno, me refiero a que estas muy involucrada con la linguistica (principalmente la fonética y la fonología?) de tu lengua madre y de segundas lenguas. Te felicito, sabes muy bien lo que dices y lo disfrutas - o al menos eso se percibe. Eres una experta muy joven. Mis respetos!!
thanks
I think this is the definitive video on how to pronounce English for Spanish speakers.
I learned a lot! :D
If you could tell us exercices to improve the pronuntiation, like repeating something every day or something like that It would be very useful :P
I have a video for that :) it's called how to improve your pronunciation
Hahaha, I loved the dough example, very creative indeed, I'm going to use it with my students, with your permission! Cheers from Bulgaria. This video is also useful for Russian and similar languages like mine.
Of course!! I was actually taught the dough method by another teacher about 10 years ago! So pass it on to other teachers too 😃
British teacher is so talented just like you
This is prominent point of these skills like deeply understanding which you have emphasize every English word attention.
Your eyes contact so much good your body language so perfect.
When you have started your lecture and video so effective for other people just like me personality improvement. I have so impressed and thanks for a lot once again you recognized to me.
Ms.Emma I pray to Jesus for you that you have gain much more teaching style in this world .....
I'll take a look-see later!
Bra jobbat.
Maybe are you fluent in Spanish? You do a very accurate analysis of Spanish pronunciation. Greetings from Barcelona!!¡!!!
Waiting the most common mistakes of Russian speakers :) Don’t forget, the whole our world loves your lessons!
Yes! Will do 😁
Spanish pronunciation mistakes are very similar to our mistakes, especially in vowels.
You're a legend. Cheers. Ahmad from Iraq.
تحية ليك من مصر
هو أنت بتستخدم قنوات ثانية غير دي لتعلم إنجليزي
Thank you a lot,where can i find the coupons for the pronunciation course?
The next sale will be in December for Christmas 🥰
You are my cute and favourite teacher. Love from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
After this video, I want the Italian one, even if I already know what we do wrong ahah :) For vowels it's like Spanish. For consonants we don't have the silent and vibrato th sound. We don't pronounce the h and the r is rhotic. I could definitely go on, but I hope to see a video of you. You are great at explaining Emma! :)
It's on the list! Don't worry :)
Italian distinguishes "o aperta" and "o chiusa" though.
In many respects this lesson can be useful for Italian learners as well. An example of typical 🇮🇹 pronunciation mistake: "hand" and "and", are frequently pronounced as "end". Like they were 3 homophones.
yeah, very true! A dedicated video for Italians is on the list though, don't worry! :)
Iv been into banA:na pronunciation as though a baby does to improve MY schwa sound! Btw Emma your spanish is such a perfect spanish accent.
aww thank you! ^_^
Mira que bien aquí!
Excellent video Emma - all your points have been so clearly outlined and explained! I teach students at a Japanese uni. who have similar problems with vowel pronunciation so I teach these concepts and you've done an excellent job in this video. I'll be recommending my students watch it
thank you! :)
❣️👍Super
I speak portuguese and I do most of these mistakes.🙈
Hi from Uzbekistan
I love the fact that Catalan sounds very Portuguese for me to understand
It's all those schwas! 😅
Emma, you are so pretty as your voice means clear everyone can understand it.
Masha allah
Hi Emma, Spanish speakers are making mistakes when they speak English pronunciation and mostly they use their Spanish accent on English. They have to follow British English pronunciation
You are amazing, there is something for us in Brazil?
in the future, yeah!
@@Pronunciationwithemma thanks 😘
It's Really helpful 😊❤️thanks a lot Emma 😘Can you make one more video about same topic for Indians when you get time?!🙃
About which language? :)
@@Pronunciationwithemma offcourse English 😁🤗
Wow. The part about "cat" and "cut" is just impossible to distinguish. I hear the same sound.
Is the "a" vowel of "cat" exactly the same one as in the word "gato" in Spanish? Or is it a different one?
The vowel in "cut" seems more a reserved vowel. Maybe more similar than the vowel in "rod"? Or maybe "oso" in Spanish?
I hope I'm not getting confused. Excellent video, Emma!
I suggest you don't compare vowels in Spanish to those in English. You just can't do that. Spanish has 5 vowels so equivalents can't always be found.
Thanks for your great video, @Pronunciation with Emma
Just to correct a minor mistake: /ð/ is actually present in Spanish phonetics -at least the version from Spain- in words like dedo /'deðo/ (finger); dado /'daðo/ (dice); todo /'toðo/ (all); nada /'naða/ (nothing); etc.
Very true but it's not quite like in English. A "th" in "dedo" and a "th" in "this" are quite different 😄
@Pronunciation with Emma - Thanks for replying, Emma.
I agree. Both are dental fricatives, instead of alveolar plosive like /d/.
Nonetheless, it seems to me that the English allophone is formed more to the front, i.e. the tongue sticks out further, and the fricative moment is more defined.
On the other hand, the Spanish sound is more subdued: the tip of the tongue aligns with the front teeth, and it is a softer fricative.
Anyway, phonetics is a bit like aesthetics... open to differing views, don't you think? Thanks.
what's the difference in pronunciation between cup and cop, please? Thanks!
Cop - round like a Spanish O
Cup - the jaw drops, like shown in the video. The mouth isn't round
Hi, Emma. What about an "estuary" comprehension lesson? I find Ricky Gervais quite hilarious and I think he speaks estuary, is that right? But more often than not he is unintelligible. Thx
Ma'am thank you so much for all your efforts that you have done so far. Ma'am there is question that has been troubling me for so long. Could you please help me understand this. The sentence is given below:-
Strict actions will be taken against the suppliers who found non-compliant on this going forward.
Ma'am in this sentence I want to ask you that is this grammatically correct to say who found non-compliant or should we say who are found to be non-compliant or should we say who are found non-compliant.
I'm really confused ma'am. Please help me with this regard and tell me which grammar topic is used here.
Love you ma'am❤️❤️❤️ Thanks in advance.
Who are found sounds better
@@Pronunciationwithemma I really appreciate your time thank you so much for your kind information
I'm a spanish speaker:)
