When you’re speaking to a native Spanish speaker, correct pronunciation is key to avoiding misunderstandings. The names of the letters in Spanish are pronounced one way, while they have their own sounds within a word (the sounds within a word are generally the same sounds as in English).
Here is the Spanish alphabet and how to say the individual letters:
-
a (ah)
-
b (bveh)
-
c (seh)
-
d (deh)
-
e (eh)
-
f (eh-feh)
-
g (Heh)
-
h (ah-cheh)
-
i (ee)
-
j (Hoh-tah)
-
k (kah)
-
