Hi,
My fisrt language is Spanish. So, the Consonants sounds that we don´t have are: sh / th / Th / Zh / Ng. And the Vowels sounds that we neither have are: Ay / Ey / o / uw/ aw / ^. Spanish is a language that it´s a little bit stress. So the sounds that we don´t have as in English language, challenge me to get better and practice it. May be, those ones are the ones that requires a pronunciation with the tongue in different positions and for sure the teeth and the palate are of great help.
Good observation - Spanish has some stress, which is marked, but English has one big stress in each word and stress in sentences as well.
ReplyDeletea Good reflection - I hope the Colour Vowel chart will help you pronounce crazy English because the spelling does not match the pronunciation!
