57 Rules of pronunciation!

58 C The letter C sounds like a "k" when it is followed by the vowels a, o and u: casa, cosa, cuchara. It is pronounced as an "s" when it is followed by the vowels i and e: ciudad, cebra. This occurs in English as well: carrot, cold and cucumber, but celery and city.

59 El cine

60 La clínica

61 Un cómico

62 El centro

63 Un castillo

64 D When D is intervocalic (between two vowels) as in the word nada [nothing], or occurs at the end of a word, like verdad [truth], it is pronounced like the "th" in the English word "they": NAH-thah, ver-DATH

65

66

67 Domingo

68 Diamante

69 Decidir

70 Dentista

71 G The letter G is hard (like the English G in "gate") when it is followed by the vowels a, o and u: gato,gordo, gusto. It is soft (like the English 'H') when it is followed by the vowels i and e - gimnasio, general. (This occurs in English as well although with different "g" sounds: game, gone and gulp, but gentle and giraffe.)

72 galería

73 general

74 global

75 gente

76 H The letter H is always silent. You might try to pretend it is invisible too, when you see words with h's. For example, the verb hay is pronounced like the English word "eye", not like the horse-food! Alcohol is pronounced "al-col" as if there were no `h' in the middle. Don't forget that ch is a separate letter that cannot be split. Ch has the same pronunciation in Spanish as it does in English

77 helado

78 hamburguesa

79 hola

80 cheque

81 chico

82 LL The most common pronunciation of the ELLE letter is as a Y sound. There is a lot of regional variation but using this pronunciation, you’ll be understood everywhere!

83 la calle

84 Me llamo…

85 llaves

86 Q Q never occurs without u, so think of Qu as one letter. Qu is always pronounced like a `k'. It never makes the `kw' sound as it does in English. Try to visualize a K every time you see Qu.

87 que

88 queso

89 R Rr is spelled r when beginning a word: rojo [red], but is spelled rr when it occurs within a word: pelirrojo [redhead].

90 rojo

91 arroz

92 carne

93 Me gusta comer arroz con carne.

94

95 R with an "R", cigar. "R" with an "R", barrel. Rapid run the cars (of the train) loaded with the railroad's sugar.

96 V V is pronounced the same as B. A common native speaker error is to switch these letters when writing. Do not pronounce this letter like the English letter `v'. Both V and B are pronounced like a softened version of the English letter `b'.

97 vale

98 vamos

99 veinte

100 Z Z occurs only in front of strong vowels (A, O, U.) The Z "time-shares" the vowels with C. C also has a soft "S" sound in front of the weak Vowels (I, E.) Therefore, when the Z is placed in a position where it is faced with a weak vowel, it changes into the letter C. (for example, we spell pencil "lápiz" but the plural form pencils needs to change the Z to C "lápices.")
