It follows/sigue que I am trying to express this idea in Spanish: I am writing about phonetics.... In English, we have the same five vowel [letters, as in Spanish], A E I O U, but there are up to 13 sounds. It follows then that each letter needs to have more than just one sound. En inglés, tenemos las mismas cinco vocales: A E I O U pero hay hasta 13 sonidos. Sigue que cada letra debe de tener más que un solo sonido. My primary question is about "sigue". In English we can say "it follows...." to give a conclusion/derive logic. Can we do this in Spanish? Thanks!

Nope, we don't. I could understand it, but it does not sound good. I already correct it. Hope it helps! :) If you got any more questions feel free to ask.
