1. (El alfabeto español)

2. Note: In this presentation, all vowels will be circled.

8. When pronounced, the “g” is like an English “h”. Think of “he” as in a small bit of laughter; “he he he!”

9. The “h” is always completely silent. (Just pretend that the ‘h” is a very shy letter.)

10. Like the ee in “teeth” or the i in “machine,” but shorter

11. The “j” sounds like the English “h” does. (Pretend that the “j” is an identity thief and stole the identity of the “h” we’re used to.)

16. After the changes to the Spanish alphabet in 1994, the “ñ” is the one letter that still does not appear in the English alphabet. It is pronounced like the “ni” combination in the word onion.

24. In all environments, the “v” is identical in pronunciation to the “b.”

25. The “w” is a letter borrowed from English and is found only in words borrowed from other languages.
