Sorry folks… As a former Spanish teacher I assure you that “e” is eh, is eh, is eh. The vowels´sound in Spanish NEVER changes. The sound “AY” is the Americanized sound we hear as when Hispanics say “I dun´t espeek eenglish” as Ricky Ricardo of “I Love Lucy used to say. And I am really dating myself now. HA!

What I tell my high school Spanish students is that the ‘e’ can be a little ‘flojo’ or ‘lazy.’ While what it is called and normally says is the hard ‘a’ sound in English, if that is really hard to pull off in the spot it is, it takes the ‘eh’ sound — thus demonstrating it’s ‘flojo’ tendency.

The easiest way to learn the Spanish vowel sounds is just keep repeating:
AH – A -E – OH – OOO (AEIOU)

And, realize you already know them because there are so many Spanish words we use every day in America….mainly names of our cities…
San Antonio
San Diego
Capistrano
San Jose
Tucson
El Paso

There is no variation in the sound of the “e” because of its placement in the word. It continues to have the “eh” sound as in “egg” the example used “perderé carries an accent over the final “e” which means that that is where the accent falls in the pronunciation of the word. The “e” sound does not change unless it is combined with another vowel as in the word “noviembre” or “peine”. The same “eh” sound applies to the words “depende” and “impenetrable”

Thank you, chipito. I was wondering what was going on there. I’m not fluent & will never lose my “accento Norteamericano” but I try to get it right. And Friends, it is “tee-wanna” for Tijuana, ok?

The initial “a” in “amainar” is pronounced “ah”, not like the “a” in “cat.

Just a note, “tu” means “your”, while “tú” means you. And, when you’re questioning, you have to accentuate qué/cómo/cuándo/dó…etc!

Other than that, very good article!
