Spanish vowels are really easy to say. Here’s how each one sounds:

• A: sounds like "ah," like in "casa" (which means house).

• E: sounds like "eh," like in "verde" (which means green).

• I: sounds like "ee," like in "vino" (which means wine).

• O: sounds like "oh," like in "lobo" (which means wolf).

• U: sounds like "oo," like in "luz" (which means light).

Now, let’s talk about Spanish consonants. They can be similar to English, but some have different sounds:

• C: sounds like "k" before the letters a, o, or u (like in "carta," meaning letter). It sounds like "th" (like in "think") before e or i (like in "cielo," meaning sky in Spain).

• G: sounds like "g" before a or o (like in "gato," meaning cat). It sounds like an "h" before e or i (like in "gente," meaning people).

• H: is always silent (like in "hola," meaning hello).

• J: sounds like "h" (like in "jugar," meaning to play).

• LL: sounds like "y" in most areas (like in "llama," which means flame or the animal llama).
