And also, remember that if you want pronounce the vowels E or I as Cat, you must change the C letter for the QU sound: QUIEN, QUERER. However, to the sound C+E+I we must add a new one: the sound of the letter "Z".

In the previous podcast, I told you what happen when "G" meets with E and I. I told you that you must pronounce this sonud as velarization /X/ and not as an English /G/ because this is the sound that you will find with the rest of the vowels. Besides, I told you that you can also find the combination GU+E or GU+I, that sounds the same as English as well. But, in this podcast, you will listen that it is not so easy at it seems...
