Hello everyone,
This entry is about pronuncation. As I know how difficult pronouncing English sounds may be for you, I provide you some material about pronunciation.
The first thing I'd like you to do is watch this introduction video, it might be a bit boring for you but it is very useful:
One link to a chart containing all the English sounds, both vowels and consonants as well as the diphthongs. You can click on any of these sounds and you will listen to their pronuncation. Pay special attention to the vowels, especially those which are very similar and difficult for Spanish speakers. The chart will open in a pop-up window:

Some more pages about pronunciation but these ones are focused on the differences between vocalic sounds. Here you have five units, they are very easy to follow. Do the first unit and go on with the other four:

In the following link you will find 4 sections: "Spelling and sounds", "Schwa", "Connected speech" and "Voicing". Click on them in the same order as I have just told you. As you will see, you will be able to do some interactive exercises:
