How to pronounce the letter E in Spanish?

The easiest way to remember how to pronounce it correctly is to imagine there is a letter

H after the E in English, so it sounds like E, which is similar to the way it is pronouncing

the English words elephant or electronic.

One important note about the E is that if you use the English pronunciation while pronouncing

words in Spanish, native Spanish speakers may think you're referring to a different vowel,

the I, which in Spanish is pronounced as a short double E, so make sure to pronounce the E in

Spanish as E to avoid any confusion.

Now here are a few examples that use the vowel E in Spanish.

La Eskuela. School. La Eskuela. El Equipo. Team. El Echiella. Star. La Estrella. Elifante. Elevant. Special.
