Common Articulation Variations Between English and Spanish By Melanie Frederick, M.S., CCC-SLP When working with a bilingual student, it is important to be aware of typical articulation rules and patterns of speech found in that student’s primary language and dialect. Knowing these differences helps the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) completing an evaluation to be aware of what might be a disorder and what might be a difference resulting from the particular rules and patterns of the student’s primary language. Often, it is easy to mistake typical differences in articulation as a disorder if the student is transferring rules of speech from his/her primary language into the second language. Learning these typical differences will help avoid misdiagnosing a bilingual student as having an articulation disorder. This handout explains a few of these differences.
