You’ll know every symbol of the Spanish alphabet; in Spanish
it is named “abecedario” or “alfabeto”, but the first one is the most common. We
only have another letter “ñ”, that beautiful letter makes Spanish so different
from other languages which use Latin alphabet.
It is composed by:
We share most of the sounds with English, BUT it’s important
to remark that there are many IMPORTANT differences and it makes the difference
in your pronunciation.
How to read and
pronounce:
I give this link, that is a YouTube video, uploaded by Salvadord,
I´d like you to check it and you will know how to read and pronounce “el
abecedario” correctly.
Is it difficult to
read Spanish?
Of course not! Read Spanish is one of the easiest things to
do, you only might know many grammatical rules. In Spanish what is written is
read as it is! Easy peasy!
Vowels:
You pronounce A, E, I, O and U with their specific sounds.
There are only 5 vowels and a little bit diphthongs, but you only the
combination of the sounds of both vowels is pronounced.
For example:
Invierno (winter)
It sounds like i + e
B and V
Those letters sound in the same way, as a b.
For example:
Beso (kiss)
Viento (wind)
That’s all (for now),
I give you many examples for vocabulary and remember to pronounce it as you
read it:
Vaso (cup/glass)
Beber (to drink)
Reloj (watch/clock)
Gato (cat)
Pato (duck)
Oso (bear)
