On the hundredth anniversary of the Manual de pronunciación española by Navarro Tomás, the great contribution of this work to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language is highlighted. It is put on a parallel with A Primer of Spanish Pronunciation, also published by Navarro Tomás in collaboration with Espinosa, in 1926, aimed at Anglo-American students. These studies were made at a time when a change in the teaching methodology of foreign languages was made thereby giving it the prominence it deserved.
