Pronunciación

One of the fantástico things about Español is that, once you learn how to pronounce the letters, they are always pronounced the same way!

A says ahhhhhh as in taco

E says eh as in elefante

I says eeeee as in burrito

O says o as in taco

U says ewww (rhymes with boo!) as in uno

Y says eeeee as in chicos y chicas

Many of the consonants in the Spanish alphabet are pronounced like the letters in English, with the following exceptions: 

H is always silent, as in Hola

J sounds like h as in jirafa

LL sounds like Y as in tortilla

Ñ is an N-Y sound as in piñata

Q sounds like a k as in queso

R – roll the r with your tongue on the roof of your mouth to say fruta

RR – roll the rr with your tongue even longer to say burrito

Z sounds like s as in zanahoria

Basic Greetings!

Hola - Hello

Buenos días - Good morning

Buenas tardes - Good afternoon

Buenas noches - Good evening, Good night 

Adiós - Goodbye

Hasta mañana - See you tomorrow
