If you create a Mastery Connect passage that contains both English and Spanish language text, you can tag selected text as Spanish. When you tag text as Spanish, the text-to-speech tool reads the tagged text with Spanish pronunciation.
Note: Alternatively, you can create a Spanish language passage, which the text-to-speech tool reads entirely with Spanish pronunciation.
