Letras especiales: ñ: extra letter in the Spanish alphabet (CANYON); ~ is called a tilde. It is NOT an accent! ch, ll , & rr: used to be in Spanish alphabet but were removed h: silent

Letras especiales: b & v: In many countries they have the same pronunciation /b/. Both B and V used to both be named “be”. In 2010, V was renamed “uve”. Before the switch, we would use the following trick when spelling... B: “b grande” or “b de burro” V: “ v chica” or “v de vaca”

Letras especiales: k & w: only used in “loan words”; considered foreign letters (EJ: kayak, waterpolo) rr: “doble R”; makes a vibrating or trilling sound; think about the sound a motorcycle makes (VRRRRROOOOOM) r: may sound like a “RR” if a word begins or ends with it, or if it follows a consonant (EJ: rápido, televisor, verdad)

Letras especiales: c: can have 2 pronunciations: When followed by a, o, u, or a consonant other than an h, it is a ‘hard c,’ pronounced like /k/. (como, practica) When followed by e or i, it is a ‘soft c,’ and is pronounced like the /s / (doce, gracias, silencio). g : can also have 2 pronunciations ‘hard g,’ : /g/ (grande, pegamento) ‘soft g,’ : /h/ (gimnasio, eligir)

Letras especiales: d: may sound like a “th” in certain situations (ciudad/ miedo) ll: can be pronounced 3 different ways depending on the region. /y/, /j/ or /zh/

Acentos Escritos: When do we need a written accent? 1) show pronunciation if the word “breaks” rule If a word ends in a vowel, n or s, the natural stress is on the second to last syllable= Hola; soFÁ If a word ends in a consonant (other than n or s), stress is on last syllable = paPEL, LÁpiz
