Listed below are the six modules of the Tal Como Suena program. The first module introduces you to the organs and muscles involved in producing human speech sounds. The second presents the five vowels of Spanish. In the third, fourth and fifth modules we discuss the Spanish consonants whose pronunciations are often most problematic for English speaking learners of Spanish. Finally, the last module discusses stress and rhythm in Spanish.

Each module is designed to be a stand-alone object, so that you can proceed through them in order or go directly to the module that interests you most. (If you are using these materials as part of a course, you should follow your professor’s instructions regarding what module to use, and when and how to proceed.)
