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.
