Spanish pronunciation tips:
Lucky for you, Spanish pronunciation isn’t difficult. You can form almost every sound in Spanish using the English sounds that you already know. Look at the Spanish alphabet below. See if you can pick out the letters that do NOT occur in the English alphabet:

a, b, c, ch, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, ñ, o, p, q, r, rr, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
If you said ch, ll, ñ, and rr, you’d be right!
ch sound is pronounced as in English, like “Charles”.
ll is often pronounced like a y, as in “yo-yo”. (Please note that this sound is difficult to pin down, as it is pronounced in a variety of ways around Latin America.)
ñ is pronounced like an “n” followed by “yay” (en-yay)
rr is pronounced by trilling the r sound. Think of a purring cat!
