Pronunciation – Vowel combinations "ue/ui"

Pronunciation – Vowel combinations "ue/ui"
Listen to the vowel combinations "ue" and "ui" in Spanish - [ue], [ui]
Just like the vowel combinations you learned about in the last few units, the
vowel combinations [ue] and [ui] are permitted phonetically in Spanish because
the letter "u", like the letter "i", is a weak vowel and easily combines with other
vowels.
Now that you have practiced the pronunciation of all of the Spanish vowels, all
you need to do is combine these sounds to form new vowel combinations.
Here is the slowed down version - [ue], [ui]
Do you hear the distinct vowel sounds in each?
This is how it sounds when said at a normal speed - [ue], [ui]
Listen to these examples and pay close attention to the pronunciation of the
Spanish [ue] and [ui].
Examples with [ue]:
fuerza
afuera
rueda
abuela
puente
Examples with [ui]:
cuidado
fui
ruina
destruir
ruido
Now record yourself practicing the correct pronunciation of the Spanish [ue] and
[ui]. Remember to fully combine these vowel sounds when speaking, rather than
separating them.
