CONCLUSION
SHORT VOWELS VS LONG VOWELS
ENGLISH AND SPANISH
Spanish and English are the most spoken
languages around the world. Among them , there are some important differences,
and similarities in the same way. For Spanish speakers, it’s difficult to learn
English, specially vowel sounds. In Spanish, we only have 5 vowels: A, E, I, O,
U. There is not a variation of long and short vowel sounds, and each one has a
specific pronunciation. In English, they
could be related with pure vowels.
As a contrast, in English there are almost 19 vowel sounds: 8 cardinal
vowels (called also pure vowels), 6 short vowels and 5 long vowels. Each sound
is produced in different parts of the vocal cavity (front, central and back),
and has variations to distinguish one sound from another. These vowel sounds
have a relation with other sound in other different languages, specially from
Europe.
In conclusion, Spanish vowels are more simple to learn than English
vowels. Spanish vowels are pure, without variation, and English vowels have
some variations in pronunciation, intonation and production. Here you can find more information in the following web sites and videos.
