The purpose of this study is to investigate how English-speaking university students who are learning Spanish as a second language produce the /l/ sound in Spanish. The study will also include native Spanish speakers for comparison. The /l/ sound is a common consonant in many languages, but its pronunciation can vary, making it a point of interest for language learners.
Participants in the study will be recorded while speaking Spanish to analyze their pronunciation of the /l/ sound. This will help researchers understand the differences and similarities in sound production between native Spanish speakers and learners of Spanish whose first language is English.
- Who can participate: Participants must be university students who speak English as their first language and are learning Spanish, or native Spanish speakers.
- Study details: Participants will be asked to speak in Spanish while their pronunciation of the /l/ sound is recorded for analysis.
