Vocales - Spanish Vowels

The pronunciation of Spanish vowels is very simple - each vowel can be pronounced only one way.*

Vowel	Sound	Similar English sound	Examples
A	[ah]	father, mama	adiós, ellas, cuando
E	[ay]	they, hey	que, tres, ella
I	[i]	machine, think	cinco, sí, repita
O	[o]	no, own	dos, cómo, ocho
U	[u]	rule, blue	uno, salud, usted

Also see lessons on the acute accent and hard/soft vowels.

*Except when it is part of a diphthong.

Please note that this lesson is only a guideline for the Spanish that I know, which is Castilian Spanish. There are many regional variations in Spanish pronunciation.
