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?...*
ACENTOS ESCRITOS:
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/
LETRAS ESPECIALES:
gato
niño
pared
reloj
pizarra
equipo
viento
