However, it is meaningful to highlight how essential it is to prioritize suprasegmental pronunciation since it results in better comprehensibility in the short run (Gilbert, 2002). I have chosen two problems of transfer that are segmental because they deal with phonemes (sounds), which can cause misunderstandings when not pronounced correctly.
I consider the ‘‘th’’ sound as a sound that does not exist in Spanish and short and long vowel sounds /I/ versus /i/ and sounds that cause miscommunication when mispronounced bu Speakers who are learning English.
