AB This dissertation will analyse the sounds and pronunciation of two of the most prominent languages in the world: English and Spanish. English and Spanish, together with Chinese, are currently the most spoken languages worldwide although the former ones are perhaps the most influential languages in the world. These two languages are considerably different regarding diverse aspects but for Spaniards, at least, the most complex aspect of learning English is its pronunciation. Being a native Spanish speaker myself and a student of English, my aim here is to explore the main differences of English and Spanish pronunciation through a contrastive analysis of the phonetic alphabets of these two languages in their standard forms (RP and standard Spanish) with the purpose of identifying the main problems that Spaniards have in order to produce English sounds and to identify those characteristics of the Spanish accent that English native speakers can easily recognise. Furthermore, in order to identify the specific difficulties that certain Andalusians encounter when speaking English, the local accent spoken in my hometown, Cádiz, will be analysed.
