Vowel-Consonant and Vowel-Vowel Combinations in Spanish.



So far we have seen all “simple” syllables formed by an every consonant with each of the vowels (structure C-V or Consonant-Vowel). If you have “done the task” already must be able to pronouce those syllables “short or simple”. With the combinations that we will see now, you can start to pronounce this combination as syllable itself (such syllables of structure V-C or Vowell-Consonant) and may subsequently do the same with syllables with structure C-V-C or Consonant-Vowel-Consonant. Let’s begin this practice:

ab eb ib ob ub

Vm
P

 

ac ec ic oc uc

Audio Player
Vm
P

 




In Spanish, the combination of the vowels with the CH digraph is not usual as completion of syllable.

ad ed id od ud

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

af ef if of uf

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

ag eg ig og ug

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

The letter H is also silent when is preceded by vowels, so we don’t need to practice it.

vowel-consonant

al el il ol ul

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

The digraph LL is not used as a termination of syllables.

am em im om um

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

an en in on un

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

The vowel-consonant combination with letter Ñ at the end of the syllables, doesn’t exist in Spanish .

ap ep ip op up

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

ar er ir or ur

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

The digraph RR is not used as termination of syllables.



as es is os us

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

at et it ot ut

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

av ev iv ov uv

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

Same with letter W.

ax ex ix ox ux

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

The letter Y after a vowel sound like I.

az ez iz oz uz

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

And finally, we are going to pronounce the combinations of two vowels (V-V):

ae ai ao au

Audio Player
Vm
P

mickeyvocales

 

ea ei eo eu

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

ia ie io iu

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

oa oe oi ou

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

ua ue ui uo

Audio Player
Vm
P

 

In Spanish as in English, there are combinations of vowels called diphthongs, triphthongs and hiatus, which we will discuss later, after watching the graphic accent (accute accent).
