About this lesson

Two flatmates move into a new flat and learn the five pure Spanish vowels through simple words like casa, mesa, piso and uva.

How to practise

  1. Read how the pattern works on the first card, then listen to each example sentence.
  2. Repeat every example out loud in the Te toca · Your turn pause: the pattern should start to feel automatic.
  3. At the end, check the common mistake and say the practice sentence yourself.
