Pronunciation Tips 1. All the letters in a word are pronounced. Some may sound silent when spoken by natives. 2. Span.ish words are strezzed on the last syllables if they end on consonants other than n or s e.g. acTOR, ciuDAD(city), cociNAR (to cook), juGAR (to play games). 3. Span.ish words are strezzed on the second to the last syllable if they end with - n, s or a vowel. E.g. camaREro (waiter), QUEso (cheese), GUApa (gorgeous), BEllo (cute). 1 Like 1 Share |

3. You stre.zz wherever you see the accent marks e.g. Qué (What) - in this case we put much emphasis on the last letter é. 4. Letter J is silent. Remember how we write Hahaha, when we want to show we are laughing. In Spanish, we write jajajaja. So whenever you see a word with letter j, skip the J part and pronounce the rest of the letters e.g. Hijo (Son) pronounced Ey-ho (the ho is forceful like you want to slightly get a phlegm out your throat, another example is Trabajo(Work/job) - you pronounce the last syllable the same way you pronounce hijo. In some cases you pronounce the j letter as y e.g. ojos (eyes) pronounced as you (oh-yos). 5. The letter v is pronounced as b (sometimes it's sounds like a mix of both). Vivo en Francia - I live in France Quiero beber una cerveza - I want to drink a beer |

6. Pronouncing C and Z When the letter C is followed by "a", "o" or "u" we pronounce the sound as K, otherwise it's pronounced the usual way. e g. Cádiz, Cual (what) Cual es tu nombre - What's your name? Cuántas años tienes - How old are you?(Literally how many years do you have?) 7. Whenever you see double l in a word (as in LL) it's automatically pronounced as y e.g. llamar (to call), cómo te llamas (What's your name?) Literally, "What are you called?". llover (to rain) llevar (to take) 8. When the letter C is followed by an i or e, we pronounce the sound by putting our tongue between our teeth as in th for thanks. This rule applies in words like Gracias (thanks), Cien (Hundred), Cena (Dinner) etc. 9. Be careful of Homonyms i. Sólo and Solo (They mean different things) sólo here means only/just e.g. me gustas tú y tú y sólo tú I like you, and you and only you Solo (without the accent marks) Means "Alone" E.g Yo vivo solo - I live alone ii. como/cómo - Eat/How Como (without the accent mark) from the verb Comer - To eat e.g. Como solo pollo - I eat only chicken cómo - How This is used to ask questions Cómo estas - How are you (informal) No sé cómo lo haces - I don't know how you do it iii. si/sí - If/yes si - If (conditional statement) si me escuchas bien, vas a ganar - If you listen to me well/properly, you are going to win sí - yes Dime sí o no - tell me yes or no. - Tell me yes or no. iv. tu y tú (tu and tú) cuantos años tiene tu abuela - How old is your grandma. tú - you (From the verb SER, which means "to be" Quién eres tu - Who are you? |

BASIC PHRASES The letters in capital highlights areas to be stre.zzd in the sentences. Buenas suerte/Good luck 1. Good morning/Good day: [/b]Buenos días - [b]boo-EHN-nos DIYAS. This is used from morning till about 2/3pm. 2. Buenas tardes: Good Afternoon/evening boo-EHN-ahs TARDES. This is used from late afternoon to early evening. TARDE means late in Spanish. 3. Buenas: Evening Sometimes you can just say "Evening" instead of "good evening". Natives do this a lot and it's an acceptable form of informal greeting. If you want to appear fluent, Use this instead I'd buenas trades/noches. 4. Buenas Noches: Good night boo-EHN-ahs NOCHES You say this when it is very late into the night. It is a form of greeting or farewell, depending on the situation. "Noches" means night. 5. Feliz Noche: Good night fay-LEEZ noh-CHAY Literally means "Happy night" This is a polite way of saying good night. 6. que pases buenas noches kay-PAH-says boo-EHN-nas noh-CHAYS This is a friendly but formal way of saying good night. 6. que tengas buenas noches: Have a good nigh keh-ten-GAHS boo-EHN-ahs noh-CHAYS This is very informal and you can only use it to greet people who are close to you. If you want to use it formally: it should be que tenga buenas noches |

Difference between Tú and Usted Just like French, Yoruba, Chinese and several other languages, you can't address your boss, a stranger or an elderly person the same way you will address your colleagues, friends or girlfriend. Cómo estás - How are you (Informal) Cómo está usted - How are you (formal) Now, you know that USTED (hu-STED) is the word that shows some sort of respect/formality. Another example Cómo te llamas - What's your name? Literally "How are you called" - Informal Cómo te llama usted - What's your name Formal/polite |

For starters, I would seriously advise you to learn alphabets in Spanish. Remember how we all learnt A,B,C in kindergarten? Yeah, every learner of Spanish must pass through that phase. Without learning to crawl, you can't walk. So necesitas aprenderlo! You need to learn it! |
