El AlfabetoEspaÑol • KnowingthealphabetmakeslearningSpanisheasierbecauseitis a PHONETIC language. • Wordsare spelledthewaythey are pronounced. • Mostletterswillhaveonlyonesound!!
¿La Diferencia? • We have 26 letters in our alphabet. • There are 30 letters in the Spanish alphabet. • The extra letters are CH,LL,Ñ and RR. • CH and LL are no longer being recognized as separate letters but rather sounds. (Your dictionary may be different than mine)!
PronunciaciÓn: • Spanish speakers write their letters the same way that we do. • The only difference is the way they sound. • I will show you the pronunciation of the letters.
B=bay …GRANDE …DE BURRO
Ch=chay No longer a separate letter.
LL=ay-yay No longer a separate letter.
V=bay …CHICA …DE VACA
vocales: • a e i o u • Pronunciation Trick- mouth gets smaller as you say them • Each vowel has only one sound • “Short” sounds • Can have accents!!
Letras especiales: • B&V: May have the same pronunciation • When spelling, use: -B:“b grande”; “b de burro” -V:“v chica”; “v de vaca” • K&W: “foreign” letters • Ñ&RR: extra letters in the Spanish alphabet • CH: used to be in the alphabet
Accent marks: • Where do they go?over vowels • How do you “say” it?Á (“a” con acento) • What does it do?shows stress/emphasis on a syllable • When do we need it? 1) show pronunciation if the word “breaks” rule • If a word ends in a vowel, n or s, the stress is on the second to last syllable= HOla • If a word ends in a consonant (other than n or s), stress is on last syllable = paPEL 2) to differentiate between 2 words with same pronunciation but different meanings *(tu/tú; el/él; solo/sólo)* 3)to indicate question words *¿quién? ¿qué? ¿cuándo?...*
