Short vs. Long vowels sounds.


       As a conclusion I can say that English short vowels sounds have some similarities to our mother tongue in the way how they are pronounced because in Spanish we do not exaggerate the pronunciation of the vowels that is why short vowels can be taught easier than long vowels. However, long vowels can differ in the way how are pronounced in English and Spanish, because in Spanish we generally do not pronounce the sounds so longer and we tend to pronounce any sound shorter.Furthemore,we do not have any complication when we try to pronounce these kind of sounds, But in order to develop  a good communication with others it is really necessary to learn how to recognize short and long vowels  to avoid misunderstandings.
