Macrons are the dashes above letters in Latin that help the pronunciation. They are important to learn consistently if you are planning to go to a Latin University or study Latin in college because you may have trouble if you don't learn them consistently before you are in college. Plus, macrons are important since I've never seen a Latin text without words that do not have macrons but are supposed to.

Each sound that can be made as a part of speech is called a "phonogram". Macrons indicate the "Long" sound of a vowel (a,e,i,o,u in English) or vowel combination (e.g., "æ"), brèves are the "Short" sound indicators. These pronunciation marks are positioned above the letter to which they apply.
