Learn Spanish Sounds Online
Sounds of Spanish
Spanish pronunciation obeys clear phonetic rules, although people do speak with accents, depending on their region and background.
Vowels
Each of the five vowels has its own sound:
a as in hat
e as in pet
i as in feet
o as in clock
u as in drew
c's and z's
The Castilian lisp, that sounds like the English 'th' in thick, is applied to ce, ci and z. Latin American and southern Spanish speakers, though, pronounce these sounds as an 's'.
When c is followed by the other vowels it's always a hard 'k' sound.
j's and g's
J is a harder, stronger version of the English 'h'.
G, when followed by e and i, sounds exactly the same as j. Otherwise, it is pronounced as the English 'g' in go.
ll's
The double ll - in most parts of Spain it's like the 'lli' in the batallion.
