ACTIVIDAD COMUNICATIVA:

ASKING ABOUT/ SPELLING NAMES

ñ: extra letter in the Spanish alphabet (CANYON);

~ is called a tilde. It is NOT an accent!

ch, ll , & rr: used to be in Spanish alphabet but

were removed

h: silent

LETRAS ESPECIALES:

b & v:

In many countries they have the same

pronunciation /b/.

Both B and V used to both be named “be”. In

2010, V was renamed “uve”. Before the switch,

we would use the following trick when spelling...

B: “b grande” or “b de burro”

V: “ v chica” or “v de vaca”

LETRAS ESPECIALES:

k & w: only used in “loan words”; considered

foreign letters (EJ: kayak, waterpolo)

rr: “doble R”; makes a vibrating or trilling

sound; think about the sound a motorcycle

makes (VRRRRROOOOOM)

r: may sound like a “RR” if a word begins or

ends with it, or if it follows a consonant (EJ:

rápido, televisor, verdad)

LETRAS ESPECIALES:

c: can have 2 pronunciations:

• When followed by a, o, u, or a consonant other than

an h, it is a ‘hard c,’ pronounced like /k/. (como,

practica)

• When followed by e or i, it is a ‘soft c,’ and is

pronounced like the /s / (doce, gracias, silencio).

g : can also have 2 pronunciations

• ‘hard g,’ : /g/ (grande, pegamento)

• ‘soft g,’ : /h/ (gimnasio, eligir)

LETRAS ESPECIALES:

d: may sound like a “th” in certain situations

(ciudad/ miedo)

ll: can be pronounced 3 different ways

depending on the region. /y/, /j/ or /zh/

Where do they go?

over some vowels

What does it do?

shows stress/emphasis on a syllable

How do you “say” it when spelling?

Á (“a” con acento)

ACENTOS ESCRITOS:

When do we need a written accent?

1) show pronunciation if the word “breaks” rule If a word ends in a vowel, n or s, the natural stress is on the second to

last syllable= Hola; soFÁ

If a word ends in a consonant (other than n or s), stress is on last

syllable = paPEL, LÁpiz

ACENTOS ESCRITOS:

When do we need a written accent?

2) to differentiate between 2 words with same

pronunciation but different meanings*(tu/tú; el/él; solo/sólo)*

3) to indicate question words

*¿quién? ¿qué? ¿cuándo?...*
