*viene (ella viene)
*quiere (ella quiere)
*tiene (ella tiene)

Do you pronounce the “e” on the end of each word or is it silent? Thanks! I’m new to learning spanish.

   Yes, you do. You pronounce the “e” at the end of each word, but it sounds like a long “A” does in English. You almost say the letter “A” in English when you get to that ending letter in Spanish.

   The first part of the second word, “Quiere”, is pronounced like “Ki-air-A” but you kinda trill the “R”.

   Viene (Veehene), the “h” is mute and the sound of the “e” is like the one in the word “bet.”

   Quiere (keehereh) the same thing as in the one in the top.

   Tiene (teeheneh), the same as the 2 above.
