西班牙语母语者常犯的错误
Spanish speakers sometimes have difficulty with certain sounds in English numbers:
- The ‘th’ sound in three: This sound (/θriː/) does not exist in Spanish. Many learners say tree (/triː/) instead. Remember to put your tongue between your teeth for the ‘th’ sound.
- The ‘v’ sound in five, seven, twelve: In Spanish, ‘v’ and ‘b’ often sound similar. In English, ‘v’ is a distinct sound (/v/) where your top teeth touch your bottom lip.
- The ‘z’ sound in zero: 英语 zero (/ˈzɪəroʊ/) uses a ‘z’ sound, like a buzzing bee. In Spanish, ‘z’ or ‘c’ before ‘e’/’i’ often sounds like ‘s’ or ‘th’. Practice the ‘z’ sound.
