    We're reviewing the vowels:

    There are five vowels in Spanish that are sometimes pronounced in different ways.

    A a

    (sounds like the English "aha!" or "ah")

    		 adiós, agua, hasta (la h es muda)

    E e

    (sounds like the English "Led")

    		 ése, entre, elefante

    O o

    (sounds like the English "dodo")

    		 pronto, ojo, hola

    I i

    (sounds like the English "e" in "evil," or the English "ee")

    		 sí, interesante, mi

    U u*

    (sounds like the English "u" in "dude")

    		 usted, uno, muy
    *Recuerde que la <u> no se pronuncia en las combinaciones: gue, gui, que, qui (ver §2). Remember that the "u" is silent en the combinations: que, qui, gue, gui.
