  4. The good news about Spanish pronunciation is that it obeys clear phonetic rules, although people do speak with different accents, depending on their region and background. Vowels Each of the five vowels has its own clear sharp sound: aas in hat e as in pet ias in feet oas in clock uas in drew   Sounds of Spanish

  5. Sounds of Spanish • 1) A (aa) apple=manzana • 2) B (be) bed= cama • 3) C (ce) cent= centavo • 4) CH (che) chess=ajedrez • 5) D (de) doctor=doctor • 6) E (e) elephant=elefante • 7) F (efe) father=papá • 8) G (he) glue- pegamento • 9) H (ache) hour= hora • Hammer= martillo • 10) I (ee) image= imagen • 11) J (ho-ta) • 12) K (ka) kiss = beso • 13) L (el-le) lemon- limon • 14) LL (eh’ye) y • 15) M (eme)mother= mamá • 16) N (ene)number=numero • 17) Ñ (en-ye) • 18) O (o) open= abierto • 19) P (pe) pen=pluma • 20) Q (coo) quick=rapido • 21) R (ere) radio=radio

  6. Sounds of Spanish • 22) RR (erre) • 23) S (ese) sad= triste • 24) T (te) tea = té • 25) U (ew) • 26) V (ve) violin= violín • 27) W (doble-ew) • 28) X (e-kees) • 29) Y (ee-gree-eh-ga) • 30) Z (seh’ta)

  7. c's and z's The famous Castilian lisp, that sounds like the English 'th' in thick, is applied to ce, ci and z. You find it in centro, plaza and in names like Cibeles and Preciados. Latin American and southern Spanish speakers, though, pronounce these sounds as an 's'. When c is followed by the other vowels it's always a hard 'k' sound, as in calle, Cuenca, Colombia.   Sounds of Spanish

  8. j's and g's J, as in Jardines, is a harder, stronger version of the English 'h'. G, when followed by e and i, sounds exactly the same as j. Otherwise, it is pronounced as the English 'g' in go.   ll's The double ll, as in calle, is another characteristic Spanish sound. It's like the 'lli' in the English million but you can also hear it pronounced like the 'y' in yes. Sounds of Spanish

  9. By looking at the numbers you can pick up a few more tips on Spanish pronunciation: v's and b's They both have the same sound, like a soft English b, as you'll hear if you listen closely to the word for 9 - nueve. ch's and h's Ocho, 8. You won't have much trouble with ch, because it is the same as in English. You'll also hear it in words like coche, car. The “h” on its own, however, is completely silent: hola sounds like "ola". Sounds of Spanish

  10. c's and q's Cu, as in the number 4 = cuatro is always pronounced as a cw. The same goes for the question words cuándo?=when? or cuánto? = how much? Que and qui sound like the English k, so parque sounds like "parke" or aquí sounds like "akee".   s's The s at the end of words like dos and tres normally sounds like the English s but in the south of Spain, the Canary Islands, and parts of Latin America, it can sound more like a soft h: "doh", "treh". Sounds of Spanish

  11. Personal pronouns in Spanish are used almost the same way as their English equivalents. However, the main difference is that in Spanish they do not need to be expressed since the verb itself will identify the subject. This happens in English with the third person singular of the present tense (to think-> thinks), where the -s shows us that we're dealing with a he, she or it, although in English the pronoun is never omitted with the exception of the imperative ("Sit down!", not "You, sit down!"), unless we want to emphasize on the person being addressed with the command. In Spanish, a pronoun is only needed when refering to a third person (singular or plural) for proper identification purposes since it can be a "she", a "he" or even a formal second person singular. In the plural, the verb ending could be referring to a "they" (masculine or feminine) or to "ustedes", a form of the second person plural used by everyone in all the Hispanic countries, except in Spain, where "vosotros" is preferred.     Personal Pronouns

  12. The "Vos" Pronoun   There is also another second person singular ("vos") used in some Latin American countries (especially the ones in the South Cone [Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay], although in some Central American countries it is also used [Costa Rica, for example]). Personal Pronouns

  13. Singular Plural • Yo(I) Nosotros/nosotras (we: masculine/feminine) Tú/vos/ usted(you/you/formal 'you' singular) Vosotros/vosotras/ustedes (you all: masculine/feminine) • El/ella (He/She) Ellos/ellas (they: masculine/feminine) Personal Pronouns

  14. Some examples: Spanish English Yo quiero estudiar or Quiero estudiar I want to study Tú quieres comer or Quieres comer You want to eat *Ella quiere correr or Quiere correr She wants to run *Ellos quieren hablar or Quieren hablar They want to talk Notice how in Spanish the verb ending identifies the subject, except when using a third person, in which case we have several possibilities. In those cases you will find that either the subject is identified through the use of the personal pronoun or name, or it has been identified in a previous sentence Personal Pronouns

  15. The words for 'I', 'you', etc.: yos and túIn Spanish, you often don't need a separate word for I, you, we, etc, as the information is all there in the verb itself: soy I'm Soy de Canarias. I'm from the Canaries. eres you are ¿De dónde eres? Where are you from?vamos we go Vamos al cine. We go to the cinema.The words I, you, etc, do exist but are used mainly for emphasis or contrast:   Yo soy de Canarias. Me, I'm from the Canaries.   Personal Pronouns
