As you can hear, the sounds of the vowels stay the same no matter what consonant comes in front of them. BUT, there are two consonants that when placed in front of the vowels do not follow the same pattern. Pronounce the following words in English:
cinema
The “c” in these words sounds like an “s”. In English, when a “c” is followed by an “e” or an “i” the “c” changes to the sound of an “s” instead of the hard “c” sound as in “cat”, “cot” and “cut”.The SAME thing happens in Spanish!

Now read the following words in English that begin with the letter “g”:
gist
The “g” in these words sounds like a “j”. In English, when a “g” is followed by an “e” or an “i” the “g” sometimes changes to the sound of an “j” instead of the hard “g” sound as in “gate”, “got” and “gun”. There are lots of exceptions though (which makes
English pronunciation very confusing at times for students who are learning it as a second language).
In Spanish the SAME thing happens basically except the
“g” sounds like the English “h”.

guigogu
quequi

The “u” is silent in each of the following combinations of letters. They are the ONLY ones in Spanish that have a silent letter.
Here are a few other reminders to help you to pronounce Spanish correctly:
h = (silent)Spanish English
