subject: Spanish pronunciation – how to learn to speak 'proper Spanish' [print this page] Pronouncing some Spanish words is not easy for North Americans, and the invention of podcasts and online radios to teach Spanish is hugely facilitating learning. High quality Spanish language websites, like News in Slow Spanish (www.newsinslowspanish.com) use audio files to demonstrate proper Spanish pronunciation. Of course, the pronunciation will be different depending on if the file was made by a teacher from Mexico or from Malaga. News in Slow Spanish teaches Castilian Spanish, but it has a section devoted to the Spanish spoken in other countries, called Explorando Latinoamrica. That way, you can get the idea of both pronunciations. And if you are traveling to Spain, you will know to brush on your Castilian pronunciation, and if you are vacationing in Mexico, you can go through a few Latin American podcasts, just to make sure you will be understood when ordering food, so that you do not get something you did not want.
