Spanish for Beginners - Pronunciation


We as a whole think that its hard when beginning another dialect, and one of the trickiest things can be articulation. What we will do is give you a speedy gone through of the tenets and how they apply them to Spanish words

Welcome to Spanish for amateurs, an elocution guide, the principal thing we are going to take a gander at is the Spanish Alphabet.

a b c ch d e f g h i j k l ll m n ń o p q r s t u vx y z 

Firstly we can see that there is on w, however we do have three new letters that are not in the English letter set, ch, ll and ń. Lets begin with the vowels.

Spanish For Beginners - Pronunciation - The Vowels

Not at all like English vowels, Spanish vowels just have one sound.

an is said as in feline, not as in say.

e is said as in ask.

i is said as in feet, not as in sit.

o is said as in not, not as in note.

u is the special case, it has two alternatives! it is said as in cool, unless it is between a g and an i, or a g and an e, then it is noiseless, that being said on the off chance that it has two spots over it ь, then you do declare it as depicted. Simple?

Spanish For Beginners - Pronunciation - The Consonants

We will take a gander at the consonants the vary from the English consonants and leave the three new letters (ch,ll and ń) until the end.

b and v have the same sound, not as brutal as both of the English adaptation, progressively a light raspy blend of the two.

c is purported as in feline, unless it is trailed by an e or i, then it is claimed like th in this.

d is fundamentally the same as yet somewhat gentler than the English rendition, particularly in the event that it falls toward the end of a word.

h is noiseless.

j ought not be said as in hop, rather it ought to be said like the ch in loch.

g has two sounds, its affirmed like an English j (as in bounce) if took after by an e or i, and like an English g (as in young lady) when taken after by an, o and u.

qu is constantly proclaimed like an English k, never a kw sound.

r is a letter you can mess around with, it ought to be moved rrrr.

z resemble the English th sound.

Go on have a go a go at few words now, attempt Havier, Valladolid, quiosco or Barcelona.

Spanish For Beginners - Pronunciation - Stress Rules

Spanish words are in three gatherings with regards to focusing on the right part of the word, by anxiety I mean where you vocally underline the word (have a go at saying accentuate so everyone can hear, you will push the em toward the begin of the word).

The main gathering is each word separated from those that end in a consonant other than n or s. In this first gathering the anxiety is placed on the last syllable as in calor, lavar or nacionalidad.

The second gathering, the words that end in a vowel or n or s. Here the anxiety is on the syllable before last as in Mexico, nacimiento or primavera.

The last gathering is decent and simple, in the event that you see a word with a letter with an accent like a ń, then that is the place the anxiety goes, as in marrуn, fбcil or tambiйn.


Well that is those are the standard procedures for Spanish for apprentices, I truly trust they have helped, you can have a fabulous time with Spanish, try it out.
