**Go over the pronunciation of the alphabet, paying special attention to:

--the vowels, in Spanish vowels have only one pronunciation while in English, there are long -------------sounds, short sounds, silent vowels,....etc.

--consonants that are pronounced different than in English, like:

h (mute in Spanish unless followed by c -or- s)......etc.

g

j

--consonants that are not part of the English alphabet:

ll

ñ

-Go over the special combination of letters, like:

gui......güi (explain why the diaeresis, what it means, and the difference between both)

gue.....güe

**Practice the pronunciation.

**Ask your friend to read simple things in Spanish, it helps with the pronunciation and the person will develop a vocabulary.

Just only speak spanish to your partner. Eventually he/she will pick it up without even realizing it.
