href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-spanish-learn-spanish-how-hard-is-it-top-tips-to-know-for-all-levels\/\">it is hard to learn Spanish<\/a> is normal, but in reality it is not such a difficult language. However, the <strong>pronunciation<\/strong> can cause some problems because of the<strong> difference in intonation <\/strong>between the two languages. We usually focus on studying the grammar and vocabulary and, mistakenly, leave aside the pronunciation.<\/p>\n<p>Although the main thing about communicating in another language, if you do not have a very high level, is to make yourself understood,\u00a0a <strong>bad pronunciation can affect communication<\/strong>. Having a good pronunciation will allow you to feel more comfortable talking in Spanish, as it gives you confidence and security to deal with any situation. But how can we learn to pronounce well in Spanish? Unfortunately, there is no magic recipe, but there are lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-spanish-best-ways-to-learn-spanish-all-methods-to-become-fluent\/\">methods to learn Spanish<\/a> that will help you improve your pronunciation, for example by watching movies, listening to music and podcasts, and of course paying attention to the <strong>pronunciation and intonation of words<\/strong>. Also, it is important that you practice <strong>saying the\u00a0words out loud,<\/strong> since we will not always know how to pronounce them the first time. Of course, if we want to learn to speak Spanish well, we must\u00a0avoid being ashamed to converse\u00a0in this language for fear of doing it wrong. In short, do not focus only on grammar, learn to listen,<strong> lose your fear of speaking<\/strong>, and practice as much as you can.\u00a0In this way, you will learn more and better how to pronounce in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-55640 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-is-important-to-have-a-good-pronunciation-in-spanish.-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"monument-of-parcelona-city\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-is-important-to-have-a-good-pronunciation-in-spanish.-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-is-important-to-have-a-good-pronunciation-in-spanish.-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-is-important-to-have-a-good-pronunciation-in-spanish.-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-is-important-to-have-a-good-pronunciation-in-spanish.-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-is-important-to-have-a-good-pronunciation-in-spanish..jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Tips for a perfect Spanish pronunciation<\/h2>\n<p>Take note of these useful tips to obtain a better pronunciation in Spanish.<\/p>\n<h3>#1 Read and talk<\/h3>\n<p>The first rule to learn to <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-spanish-learn-how-to-read-in-spanish-with-the-correct-pronunciation\/\">read in Spanish with the correct pronunciation<\/a> is to read aloud. This is very important because at the same time you see the words you are also hearing them and it is a way to stimulate memorization. <strong>Audiobooks<\/strong> are perfect for this. You can find them for free in, for example, Audible or on payment platforms such as<strong> iTunes, Cervantes.es or Spanish Audiobooks.<\/strong> We advise you to first listen to the audio with the text in front ad many times as you need. Then read the text imitating the intonation and pronunciation of the audio. Don\u2019t worry if you mess up and don\u2019t be afraid of being ridiculed or not being understood.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 Accent and intonation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t try to lose your accent. <\/strong>Remember: the accent does not indicate that your pronunciation is not correct, but that you are not a native speaker of the language, which is not a problem at all! If you are too careful in hiding your accent, you will lose naturalness and fluidity. Little by little you will learn the correct pronunciation in a natural way. While it is good not to focus on your accent, it is important to focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-spanish-how-to-learn-spanish-accents-basic-rules-of-pronunciation\/\">Spanish accents and rules of accentuation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 Pay attention to the position of your tongue<\/h3>\n<p>The position of your tongue will help you develop greater agility in your <strong>lips and tongue. <\/strong>Choose a tongue twister. For example: <em>\u201cerre con erre guitarra, erre con erre carril, r\u00e1pido ruedan los carros, r\u00e1pido el ferrocarril\u201d<\/em> and repeat it three times a day. You can do it with a pencil under your tongue. A second time exaggerating the movement of your mouth, lips and tongue and the hard time in a normal way, you will see how soon you notice improvement.<\/p>\n<h3>#4 Talk to a native speaker<\/h3>\n<p>Listen a lot to how the natives speak with <strong>videos, movies, podcasts, or music<\/strong> in Spanish, and repeat what you heard. Listening will allow you to appreciate the subtitles of the spoken language and to assimilate them to your pronunciation.<\/p>\n<h2>Phonetic symbols for consonants in Spanish<\/h2>\n<p>While many consonants sound the same in Spanish as they do in English, there are also many cases where they are pronounced totally different.
