The Spanish Alphabet
The Spanish alphabet is similar to the English alphabet, with a few differences in terms of the letters included and their pronunciation. The Spanish alphabet consists of 27 letters. Here is the alphabet along with their pronunciations:
A - "ah"
B - "beh"
C - "seh" or "theh" (before 'e' or 'i', it sounds like "theh"; otherwise, it sounds like "seh")
D - "deh"
E - "eh"
F - "eh-feh"
G - "heh" or "hheh" (before 'e' or 'i', it sounds like "heh"; otherwise, it sounds like a soft "hheh" as in "hamburger")
H - "ah-cheh"
I - "ee"
J - "hho-tah" (similar to the "ch" in "loch")
K - "kah"
L - "eh-leh"
M - "eh-meh"
N - "eh-neh"
Ñ - "eh-nyeh" (as in canyon)
O - "oh"
P - "peh"
Q - "ku" (always followed by a silent "u")
R - "eh-reh" (rolling the 'r' sound)
S - "eh-seh"
T - "teh"
U - "oo"
V - "oo-veh"
W - "doble ve" or "doble u" (double v or double u)
X - "eh-kis"
Y - "ee-griega"
Z - "seh-tah"
It's important to note that the pronunciation of certain letters can vary in different Spanish-speaking regions. Additionally, the "ch," "ll," and "rr" were traditionally considered separate letters, but they have been removed as distinct entities from the alphabet by the Royal Spanish Academy. However, they may still be treated as separate letters in some contexts.
Practice pronouncing these letters to improve your Spanish pronunciation skills.
