Sound System Primer: Submission Page

Now that you are familiar with all the basic sounds of Spanish, it is time to test how well you can hear and reproduce these sounds. This will be your third submission after Your First Recording and Benchmark Exam #1. 

The Activity

Record yourself doing the activities described below. I provide an example recording as well.  
  1. The Vowels - Clearly say each Spanish vowel : a, i, u, e, o
  2. The Denti-Alveolar /d̪/ - Keeping in mind the Spanish pronunciation of this sounds, say the following syllables:  d̪a, d̪i, d̪u, d̪e, d̪o
  3. The Denti-Alveolar /t̪/ -  Keeping in mind the Spanish pronunciation of this sound, say the following sounds: t̪a, t̪i, t̪u, t̪e, t̪o
  4. The Alveolar Tap /&/- say the following sounds: a&a, i&i, u&u, e&e, o&o
  5. The Alveolar Trill /+/ - say the following sounds: a+a, i+i, u+u, e+e, o+o
​
If you need to review, refer back to the Sound System Primer.

Email a recording link to Spanish@mimicmethod.com for review. 
  • Include your name in the submission title.
  • Title your track: Spanish Sound Primer - (Your Name)
Record on Soundcloud

Don't worry if you still can't yet pronounce some of these sounds, as they will come with practice. Also be sure to check out the Phonetic Notation Key and Bonus Materials sections of this course often for more practice. 

​For now, give your mouth a rest or move on to Unit 1.
