In Spanish, every letter
is pronounced and the accent usually is on the next to
the last syllable. Exceptions to this are indicated with
an accent mark. The following letters are pronounced as
follows:a like the
a in ah
i like the ee in beet
u like the oo in loot
ñ like the ni in senior
e like the e in deck
o like the o in cold
y like the ea in eat
ll like the y in kayak
The h is silent in
Spanish, and the Spanish j is pronounced like the h in
horse. G before a, o, u, or a consonant is hard (like in
gate); when before e or i, it's soft, sounding just
slightly harder than the h in hay. When g appears with u
(gu), the u sounds like the English w. b and v sound the
same, pretty much like a b in English. C before a, o, and
u is hard like the English k; before e and i it's soft
like the English s.
