Spanish alphabet (Alfabeto or Abecedario) is similar to the English alphabet with the addition of the letter ñ.
The Spanish pronunciation is probably the easiest in the world. Spelling in Spanish is very easy. You only have to remember some simples rules:
- B and V sound the same
- C sounds like K before A / O / U and sounds like Z before E / I
- CH sounds like in English Chocolat
- G sounds like J before E / I (Género = Gender and Gigante = Gigant) unles you write like this GUE / GUI (Guerra = War and Guitarra = Guitar)
- H has no sound
- K is almost not use in Spanish. Only foreign words have this letter.
- LL has a special sound, similar to consonant Y in most parts of the Spanish World
- Ñ has a especial sound
- Q is only used wit E / I, like this: QUE / QUI
- R has a weak sound in the middle of a word (Caro = Expensive) and a strong sound at the beginning of the word (Rata = Rat) and when is RR (Carro = Cart / Car)
- W is almost not use in Spanish. Only foreign words have this letter.
- Y has a vowel sound equal to I and a consonant sound equal to LL. At the beginning (Yo = I) or in the middle (Reyes = Kings) of a word is a consonant and at the end (Rey = King) is a vowel.
Tilde:
In Spanish there is a symbol called "tilde" in some words. The "tilde" only appears in some words and only on the vowels. Only one vowel in a word can have the "tilde".
Now you don´t have to learn the rules for using the tilde, but you have to know that the "tilde" is part of the word, without the "tilde" the word is wrong.
Sometimes the "tilde" is the only difference betwenn two words:
- Sí = Yes / Si = If
- Él = He / El = The
- Papá = Dad / Papa = Pope
Spelling:
Only using 5 questions you can write any Spanish word that you listen with no mistakes:
- ¿Con B o con V? = With B or with V?
- ¿Con G o con J? = With G or with J?
- ¿Con H o sin H? = With H or without H?
- ¿Con LL o con Y? = With H or without H?
- ¿Con tilde o sin tilde? = With "tilde" or without "tilde"?
