Spain Accents

Spain Accents

Spain is divided into a number of autonomous provinces that relate to language & cultural differences. Spanish (Castellano or Español) is the national language spoken by almost all Spaniards, but there can be some variation in the accents due to the dialect of Spanish the people speak & language variations.

Spain Accents Learning Materials

  • The Spain accent materials include recordings of AccentHelp coach Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, along with examples of practice words and sentences from a native of Spain. Jim also helps you to apply the accent to a practice monologue.
  • You will also hear a number of natives of Spain reading through all of the practice sentences and the practice monologue.
  • There are numerous native speakers, and you get a PDF transcript of their conversations so that you can follow along as you listen.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, along with two other versions of the book: a PDF file to print and EPUB for portable readers. 
  • The major ethnic/language divisions of Spain include the Galicians, in the northwest with heavy influence from Portuguese; the Basques, in northeast Spain and southwest France; the Catalans, in the far northeast; and the Castilians, largely throughout the middle of the country.
  • All of the sound files are in MP3 format so that you can play them on your computer, load them onto your phone, or burn them to a CD.
  • You'll receive a link via email so that you can download all of the materials as ZIP files directly to your computer.
  • You'll also get future updates for free!
