As you may have noticed—Spanish does have a few crucial differences in pronunciation that can make it a bit of a challenge for some learners, at least early on. One example is found with the letter r which is pronounced differently and takes some practise for most new learners. This distinct sound is formed by tapping the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, about a third of the way back in the mouth. Your ability to develop accurate Spanish pronunciation depends on you getting immediate and accurate feedback.
Rosetta Stone integrates TruAccent, our patented speech-recognition engine, into every single language learning lesson. TruAccent offers instant feedback that will help you align your accent with the accent of native Spanish speakers. TruAccent was expertly developed by scanning and integrating the speech of native and non-native Spanish speakers, so it can be very effective in helping you quickly learn to understand and be understood in Spanish.
