★ Teaching the Spanish alphabet to English speakers can be tricky, hopefully this picture helps!

✔ There are differences in the alphabet and in the pronunciation of the letters depending on the country. This version does not include “Ch” or “Ll”, and it focuses on a Latin American pronunciation of the letters.

✔ A useful YouTube Video to go with this resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbErPYymHYI

Careful. Although I personally love the sound of Latin American accents, we have to be careful with regards to the confusion they create with C and S. Even at the beginning we have an example of this with the word pronunciación, it is pronounced as "pronunsiasión" and many students, just as many Latin American natives do, will spell it with a S instead of a C. They need to be used to the /th/ sound of C when going with E and I. Otherwise we can count on loads of spelling mistakes. English speakers can pronounce /th/ and we should make sure that our students do too. Mine have no issues pronouncing "vacaciones" or any other word with Ce and Ci. I use phonics and they really help with Spanish spelling.
