Like the u in the name “Lulu,” but shorterThe important thing to remember about the “u” is that it has no initial “y” sound as in English. When we pronounce the word union, for instance, we actually say yunion. Leave the “y” sound off in Spanish.

The Spanish “b” is similar to the English “b” when initial (pronounced at the beginning of a phrase) or after the letters m or n.

Bailo con María. el medio ambiente

It is softer, allowing some air to pass through the lips, when intervocalic (located between vowels).

No bailo bien. Iberia.

In Spain, the “c” before e or i is pronounced “th”

Until 1994, “ch” was a separate letter in Spanish, and words that began with this letter were found in a separate ch section in the dictionary after the section containing words beginning with c. It is pronounced like the English ch.

The Spanish “d” is similar to the English “d” but is pronounced with the tongue farther forward against the upper teeth. When initial or after the letters n or l, it is harder;

Daniel es mi hermano. andar

¡Buena idea! nada

when intervocalic, it is a bit softer, much like the voiced “th” sound in the English word “they.”

The “p” is unlike the English p in that the latter is aspirated, that is, a puff of air is expelled after the lips separate. In Spanish, we hold back the air, avoiding the “pop” that is heard in English.

The “q” is always followed by “u,” as in English, except for a few foreign words such as Iraq, although this word can also be spelled Irak, since the sound of “q” is essentially identical to that of “k.” Like the p and [k] sounds, the q is not aspirated.

The intervocalic, embedded (that is, non-word-initial) “r” involves a single tap of the tongue against the alveolar ridge. The result is a sound much like the dd in the name “Eddie.”

With the “rr,” or double “r,” the tongue is positioned just as with the single “r,” except that it is held there briefly and allowed to “flap,” creating the “rolling” effect.

Note: The single “r” is rolled more like the “rr” after l and n.
