Silent Letters

Everybody who is learning English wants to have a proper accent when speaking. This is very difficult if you don't start learning on an early age or if you don't go abroad for a time of your life.

It is known that pronuntiation is one of the clues to speak a proper English. For Spanish speakers, English is very weird because you don't pronounce as you write. For instance, in Spanish you pronounce every single letter that is written but in English you don't.

Here you have some Word lists with SILENT CONSONANTS and SILENT VOWELS that you can use to improve your vocabulary knowledge and your pronuntiation.

Enjoy!
