Acento y sonidos en español


Introducción:UT is a diverse community with speakers

of many different languages.

What languages do you hear spoken around you every day?


With a partner, talk about how the following languages sound to you.

What stands out? How are the sounds in these languages different from those in English?


French

Mandarin Chinese

German

Other?


How do you think English sounds to a non-native speaker?


Enfoque: Español

Acento:Thinking only about rhythm now, we’re

going to play a game to figure some stuff out about accent patterns in Spanish.

Now for the hard part…Work with a partner to come up with some

generalizations about the stress pattern, based on the slides you just saw. Here are the words again…

Sonidos:Listen to the following words in Spanish

and write how you think they would be spelled if they were words in English.


These words come from p. 37 in your textbook. Can you match up the English version to the Spanish version?


Based on your answers in the previous two slides, work with a partner to come up with some generalizations about how the sound and/or spelling systems of Spanish and English may differ.


Look at the following pictures and see if you can guess the Spanish names for the things you see there.
