English has several diphthongs - vowel sounds that glide from one position to another. Here are the most important ones:

🔹 El inglés tiene varios diptongos - sonidos vocálicos que se deslizan de una posición a otra. Estos son los más importantes:

[eɪ] as in day, say, make, rain

[aɪ] as in my, time, right, buy

[ɔɪ] as in boy, noise, choice, enjoy

[aʊ] as in now, house, about, sound

[oʊ] as in go, know, home, road

It is important to pronounce both parts of the diphthong. Many Spanish speakers tend to shorten them to a single vowel.

🔹 Es importante pronunciar las dos partes del diptongo. Muchos hispanohablantes tienden a acortarlos a una sola vocal.
