  1. El alfabeto Coffee is an important export for many Central and South American countries. For extra credit, learn more about the industry and/or investigate the movement for Fair Trade coffee from Latin America.

  2. Las vocales • A - ah • E* - ey • I * - ee • O - O • U - oo *These ones are often confusing to English speakers because Spanish E sounds like English A, and Spanish I sounds like English E. Devote some time to distinguishing these for yourself!

  3. A - a • Alfabeto • Alberto • Hablar

  4. B - be • B and V make an almost identical sound in Spanish, so to distinguish them, you might hear “B grande” or “B como burro” • Bandera • Burro • Beto

  5. C - ce • C may make a hard or a soft sound. • When followed by a consonant or the vowels: a, o & u, C will make a hard “kuh” sound. • When followed by the vowels: e & i, C will make a soft “suh” sound • Cebra • Cuaderno • Campo

  6. Ch - che • Che has been removed from alphabetized lists (like in dictionaries) but still is recognized as a letter by many people. It is kind of like Pluto… no longer a planet, but it’s still there. • Mochila • Chiapas • Champiñones

  7. D - de • D makes a strong “duh” sound unless it is in between two vowels. If that is the case, it makes a “th” sound. • Diccionario • Terminado • Pasado

  8. E - e • Excelente • Escritorio • Clase

  9. F - efe • There is no “ph” spelling combination in Spanish, we just use F instead. • Teléfono • Geografía • Fotocopias

  10. G - ge • G may make a hard or a soft sound. • When followed by consonants or the vowels: a, o & u, G will make a hard “guh” sound. • When followed by the vowels: e & i, G will make a soft “huh” sound. • Geografía • Lago • Imaginación

  11. H - hache • The H is silent! ¡La hacheesmuda! • Hola • Hombre • Hermano

  12. I - i • Dime • Imagínate • Inglés

  13. J - jota • The J makes what we think of as an H sound. • Mujer • Jalapeño • Japón

  14. K - ka • K is a borrowed letter, so you will only see it in words that originate from another language. • Karate • Kiosko • Karaoke

  15. L - ele • Lápiz • Laboratorio • Libro

  16. LL - elle • LL makes a Y sound, or depending on one’s accent is can even sound like a “Juh” or a “Shuh” • Llamar • Silla • Pollo

  17. M - eme • Mercado • Matrimonio • Mano

  18. N - ene • Nuevo • Natalia • Nadar

  19. Ñ - eñe • Ñ makes the sound you will recognize from piñata. Words in English that sound this way are “onion” and “canyon” • Español • Mañana • Año

  20. O - o • Ojo • Pulpo • Ocatvio

  21. P - pe • Página • Policía • Pato

  22. Q - qu • ¿Qué? • Queso • Don Quixote

  23. R - ere • You will roll your R if the word begins with this letter. Otherwise, you make the sound by just a quick press of your tongue against the gums slightly above the back of your front teeth. • Raúl • Pero • Para

  24. RR - erre • Also known as doble ere; however, it is not technically a letter. You roll the double R. • Carro • Perro • Correr

  25. S - ese • Sí • Espectacular • Especial

  26. T - te • Tigre • Tío • Toronja

  27. U - u • Uruguay • Mundo • EstadosUnidos

  28. V - ve • As you know, B and V make extremely similar sounds. V is known as “v chica” or “v comovaca” • Vivir • Veinte • Volumen

  29. W – doble u/v • Like K, this is another borrowed letter. It works just like the English W. • Washington • Windsurfista • Waterpolista

  30. X - equis • Equis makes a “k-s” sound • Examen • Excelente • Experiencia

  31. Y – igriega • Y makes our usual Y sound, just the the LL. Also, like the double L, is may sound like a “juh” or a “shuh” depending on one’s accent. • Playa • Yo • Yema

  32. Z - zeta • Z makes an S sound. Not a ZZZZZ! • Feroz • Zapatos • Zorro
