Los vocales epañoles son muy regulares. Lo entiendo sus problemas con los vocales ingleses. The vowel sounds are usually not as pure as the Spanish ones.
They can be long or short fAther or Fat
They can depend on other letters in the word.
The "magic" silent letter E can make pIn into pIne by lengthening the I.
Each vowel is pronounced differently in different English speaking countries and each country has different regional variations. We tend to turn them into strange diphthongs, meaning that the sound varies as it is being spoken.
In Spanish two adjacent vowels are pronounced separately, but in English side from one to another, not necessarily by the shortest routes. English spelling is very irregular. There are many rules but they all have exceptions. Even the USA and the UK have some different spelling rules!! I'm glad I know it already.
