Over 437 million people around the world speak Spanish, and 40 million of those speakers are in the United States. It is the second most spoken language in the world, making learning Spanish an attractive endeavor for both business and personal reasons. With its prevalence in everyday life through music, movies and television shows, an increase in those wishing to learn Spanish is inevitable.
The best way to start off on the right foot is by focusing on the pronunciation of some basic words and phrases. Pronunciation is key when learning a new language as it’s one of basic building blocks of successfully using Spanish in everyday life. If Spanish is new to you, there are some pronunciation distinctions that can make it challenging. For instance, the letter ‘r’ is pronounced differently and takes some practice. This distinct Spanish sound is created by tapping the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, about a third of the way back. Some new learners have success practicing making the “tt” sound, as it sounds in the English word “butter.”
Rosetta Stone places great emphasis on correct pronunciation as part of the learning program. Our patented TruAccent™ speech-recognition engine is embedded into every lesson. It compares your voice to native speakers and gives you feedback in real time so that you are able to make tweaks and adjust your attempts on the spot to achieve the most accurate pronunciation.
