Question
Answer
show The name for the loss of contrast between two phonemes. In Spanish, it always takes place in the syllable-final position (before another consonant or a pause). Using t or d (at-lan-ti-ko or ad-lan-ti-ko)  
🗑
show The process in which the FOLLOWING sound influences the preceding sound, causing it to take on some of its characteristics. Eg: enviar (the b sound of v, makes the n sound nasal, like m)  
🗑
Progressive Assimilation   show
🗑
Mutual (Reciprocal) Assimilation   show
🗑
Hyper-Correction   show
🗑
show pronouncing the "ll", instead of giving it the "y" sound.  
🗑
Yeismo   show
🗑
show instead of pronouncing the "ll" like a "y", using the palatal groove fricative "z" (as in measure)  
🗑
show ALSO "GROOVE FRICATIVE". A whistling or hissing sound produced as the airstream passes through a narrow, elongated groove or rill in the tongue tip or blade, which is pressed against the upper teeth, alveolar ridge, or palate.  
🗑
show The speech mode heard in many parts of Spain, particularly Andalusia, and throughout all of Spanish America, in which the "th" sound is absent, being replaced with /s/  
🗑
Distincion   show
🗑
show lisping; making the /th/ sound for every /s/ and /z/ (not using distinction, as is the case with seseo).  
🗑
Homorganic   show
🗑
Plus Juncture   show
🗑
show The /l/ sound heard in syllable-final position in English, articulated with little or no contact between the tongue and the upper articulators.  
🗑
show Also called 'retroflex' r. The mistake English speakers make with the r where we make it sound like the growl(rrr). In Spanish, the r actually comes out sounding like a combination of a "t" and a "d"  
🗑
Defective Distribution   show
🗑
Linking (Enlace)   show
🗑
show There are sounds in the Spanish language that do not exist in English (the trilled r; the light l; the velar fricative x; the fricative b)  
🗑
show Sounds in English do not exist in Spanish (the dark l; aspirated word initial p, t, and k; dark r; schwa; plus junctures; elongation of vowels  
🗑
show The actual phonemes in English exist as different sounds (allophones) of one phoneme in Spanish. English has more phonemes than Spanish, so this is harder for Spanish speakers learning English (b and v; z and s; y and j; d and th)  
🗑
show Letter sounds in English are actual letters in Spanish (we confuse moro-modo-moto because we pronounce d and t the same way Spanish speakers pronounce r)  
🗑
show z instead of s for azul; English speakers not using regressive assimilation where Spanish always uses it (n examples); English adds sounds at the end of a vowel-ending words (si, yo); English adds u sounds (pu-e-blo)  
🗑
show Miscellaneous influences of English on Spanish: adding the i to regular; using pitch level 4; interplay of long and short syllables (stress-timed); using distincion incorrectly; English uses more stress phonemes (4 vs 2)  
🗑
Class A (Critical) Errors   show
🗑
show elongating stressed vowels; using English vowel sounds that don't exist in Spanish (hombre sounds like hambre); misplacing the stress in cognates; tap r instead of trill r; turning diphthongs into two syllables; inappropriate rise at the end of yes/no que  
🗑
Class C (Important) Errors   show
🗑
