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
