(elle)
This letter only exists in Spanish.
Much like the ‘ni’ combination in ‘onion’ or the
‘ny’ combination in ‘canyon’.
Close to ‘oh’.
Similar to English.
Always written in combination with the letter
'u', it makes the same sound as the letter ‘k’.
The “u” does not sound.
2 sounds, one strong one soft.
Strong: it has a trilled sound.
* To trill the 'rr', try to say 'brr', but instead of using your lips, use
your tongue. When you exhale, the tongue should be raised and
widened so it touches the upper teeth.
- At the beginning of a word (rata)
- After the letters 'l', 'n', or 's' (Enrique)
- When it is a double r (perro)
Soft: similar to the English r
- Between vowels (caro, pero)
Similar to English.
Close to the 'oo' in food, but shorter.
Same as Spanish ‘b’. In Spanish we don't usually
distinguish between B and V
Same as in English. Very few words with this letter.
It can work as a vowel or a consonant.
- As a consonant it sounds like the English ‘y’ in
‘yes’ (yo)
- It functions as a vowel when it is on its own
(Y) or at the end of a word (Paraguay) and it
sounds like the letter ‘i’.
Like ‘th’ in English.
In Latin America it is also
pronounced as ‘s’.
