Spanish Vowels (las vocales) play an important role in correctly reading, writing, speaking, and understanding Spanish! Learning to enunciate vowels well can help you speak more like a native Spanish speaker.

Spanish Vowels are spoken without any kind of block or stop in the airway. All vowels are formed with the mouth OPEN and air moving freely!

Sometimes a misspoken vowel can completely change the meaning of a word! (Like in nouns or verbs.)

Accent marks also appear over vowels, but never over consonants.

See how many vowels are in these Spanish phrases!

Examples:

¡Hola! ¿Cómo está usted?
Hello! How are you?

Yo estoy muy bien, gracias.
I am very well, thanks!

¿De dónde es usted?
Where are you from?

Yo soy de los Estados Unidos.
I am from the United States.
