Heteronyms
Words that are spelled the same but have different
pronunciation and meaning.
What are heteronyms ?
For example:
WIND = VIENTO - La vocal « i » es corta.
WIND = ENROLLAR - La vocal « i » es larga.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP:
1 -. Familiarize yourself with the words.
5 - Look at the context when reading.
2. - READ ALL THE MEANINGS IN THE DICTIONARY.3 - Do not choose the first word you see, remember that there's more.4 - Try to memorize the pronunciation of each meaning.
6 -. If you have questions, read it again.
Some advice
For example the following sentence:
° The camel walked slowly through the hot, dry desert.
The sentence containing the word will give clues to the real meaning and therefore the
correct pronunciation.
El camello caminó lentamente por el desierto caliente y seco
When you translate this phrase into Spanish, it should read as follows:
That goes for not knowing more
meanings of the same word
° The camel walked slowly through the hot, dry desert.
Fair and necessary!
FOOL ! is read as
follows
If you are not familar with the words you could read something else like:El camello caminó lentamente en el calor seco y se
rindió
El camello caminó lentamente por el desierto caliente y seco
° The camel walked slowly through the hot, dry desert.
will help you to know that the word "DESERT" should be pronounced with an 'e' short, because in this case refers to the DESERT REGION.
In this case, the
words: hot, dry
El camello caminó lentamente por el desierto caliente y seco
Some advice
con el acento en la última <<e>> la palabra significa: ABANDONAR, DESERTAR O RENDIRSE.
