alphabet a-z

Alphabet (A-Z)

Listen to the alphabet in English. (2 versions – Slow/Fast)

A-Z in English, by sounds.

Listen to the pronunciation in the sound groups.

Tips

H = /ei/ + ‘ch’;

J = the ‘J’ in ‘DJ”

E is identical to ‘e’ in ‘me’;

G is like ‘J’ but (pero) has vowel (vocal) sound /i:/.

F, L, M… similar to Spanish, but no ‘e’ sound at end.

X is ‘Ex’

Z is ‘zed’ in British English, but ‘zee’ in American English.

I, is identical to ‘eye’ (ojo) and ‘I’ (yo)

Y is identical to ‘Why?’ (¿Por qué?)

O is similar to Spanish, but longer (más largo) – y se centra más en la garganta.

R is the long vowel sound /a:/

Q is ‘K’ + the word ‘You’

U is the word ‘You’

W is ‘Double’ (du-bul) + ‘You’
