CONCLUSION VS LONG VOWELS (ENGLISH& SPANISH)

 

In this part of the lesson I studied the long vowels in English a vowel is a type of sound for which there is no closure of the throat or mouth. However, vowels can be contrasted with consonants because the air is stopped. While a word can be formed without any consonants – such as the English words I or way – no word may consist of only consonants, without a vowel.The main difference of long vowels between English and Spanish is that the English language has six vowels: a, e, i, o, u and, in some instances, y, but in Spanish are 5vowels. However, the English language has many more vowel sounds. In conclusion, long vowel sounds require the speaker to move the mouth from a closed position to an open one or vice-versa. The speaker's tongue glides into position during pronunciation and is often tense. When pronounced, long vowel sounds share the same pronunciation as vowels when they are pronounced as part of the alphabet.
