The Spanish Phonetic Alphabet
Ok, so you’re learning Spanish slowly now…. and putting phrases together. You’re confident enough to phone a Spanish business to enquire about some information. You agree that they can send you some information via email… but then they ask you to spell it for them. Yesterday’s article showed you how to pronounce the alphabet… but what about phonetics? It will make it so much easier if you could say the Spanish equivalent to “F for foxtrot” – so here is a handy list of the Spanish phonetic alphabet. Bookmark it on your computer, or print it out for next to your telephone… so you always have it to hand.
Good luck!
