It aims to aid teaching and learning oral expression skills for Chilean Spanish. It includes 12 topics related to oral expression, ranging from very practical ones (Técnicas y ejercicios or Movimientos y distancias al hablar) to more theoretical ones (Fonética y fonología, for example). It contains images and videos.

Chilean Spanish phonetics

• Chilean Spanish phonetic and phonemic systems: From time to time I have to introduce my students to the phonetic and phonemic systems of Chilean Spanish. The table presented here was made in 2022 in collaboration with the utmost Gastón Salamanca (for a previous version from 2011, see this other file). This was built using the IPA.
• Spectrogram album (2008): This album, written in Spanish, contains a general spectrographic characterization of many of the allophones of Chilean Spanish.
