Phonetics! Key to understand English and make yourself understood. While English grammar is more simple than the Spanish one, English phonetics are much more complicated. That's why we don't understand sometimes words that we perfectly know and make us feel frustrated.
I came across the following phonemic chart and thought it could be quite useful for English learners, as it reproduces each individual vowel, consonant and dipthong sound. Students sometimes see the symbols and tell me "what is that? How does it sound?" With this chart, they can see and listen to each of the individual sounds heard in English. Enjoy!
