To learn the Spanish alphabet, you can use the English alphabet as a great starting point.
If you already know the English alphabet, the majority of the letters in the Spanish alphabet can be derived with a few small tweaks.
In this video you'll learn:
- How to derive the majority of the letters in the Spanish alphabet from the English alphabet
- A few important choices you can make for Spanish letters
- The 5 Spanish letters you need to learn by heart
In order to derive 22 out of 27 letters for the Spanish alphabet from the English alphabet, you simply need to swap out English vowel sounds for Spanish vowel sounds and in some cases add an extra vowel sound.
This means there are only 5 letters that are completely different to the English alphabet. These are the 5 sounds that you will have to learn by heart.

In Argentina, the way we distinguish the B from V when spelling is simply by calling them be larga (B) and ve corta (V).

WOW This was extremely helpful. Although I do speak Spanish, I haven't had to use it in years. Now that I'm working in an office where 90% of our clients speak Spanish, I realized I didn't know how to spell my name in order to give out my e-mail address and with a Y and a V in my name, I was so confused lol. This video truly was the best one out of all that I watched at explaining the alphabet and sounds. Thank You. You just made my job easier.

¡Qué alivio saber que solamente hay 5 letras en español que hay que aprender de memoria! He tenido un problema con el alfabeto que he evitado por mucho tiempo. Estas letras me han causado problemas hasta vi este vídeo: G = 'he' V = B = 'be' or 'ube' H = 'ache' Q = 'cu' Y = 'i griega' Z = 'zeta' Gracias por tu grande trabajo Andrew. No sabía el hack de reemplazar los vocales de inglés con los de español.👍

Decent little video ... it would have been really good just to do a run through of the whole alphabet again at the end, or just before you do the wee practice questions. BTW , the way that I remember the "x" letter sound ("equis") is that, in English, we use the letter "x" to indicate a kiss in written texts ,etc... so the "x" letter sound can be thought of as "a kiss" ....

I'm from Spain, and if we had had instead of 'Uve' the Latin pronunciation would be 'B' impossible for someone from Spain if someone writes Veronica or Venom, it starts with VE- and it is pronounced as 'BE' but in a dictation oral, in Latin America I think they differentiate it into short B or small B to be preferred to V. In Spain, in the Spanish language and Literature degree, say V as B is a grammatical fault, but it is left to be used in other countries Hispanic. Spanish and Latin are different even if they are within the Spanish language. It is like within the Spanish, there are different ascents and pronunciations, which, you can use the Spanish Extandar to communicate and the jargon of a place in Spain to talk between people from that place. An example, I am Canarian and we have our jargon, if I go to Madrid, the Spanish Extandar is used there, because you adapt and use the language as it is.

I thought I was tripping when I recently found out that a lot of people use 'uve' as the name for V, since I could have sworn I had learned as a kid that B and V had basically identical names (hence the old distinguisher "V de vaca o B de burro?"). I guess 'uve' is a more recent invention, or was just widely adopted more recently?

English is a more contextual language than spanish: Tener frío ≠ estar frío beacuse suggestively one or another person feels cold differently so in English you use both for "tener" "estar" to mean the same in some situations but not in spanish. Tengo frío ----> i'm cold Estoy frío ------,> i'm cold Tengo hambre -----> i'm hungry Estoy hambriento -----> i'm hungry Puedo tener dinero pero no ser feliz I may have money but I'm not happy. Tengo cansancio-----> i'm tired Estoy casando---------> i'm tired Tengo cansado x doesn't makes sense in spanish.

@@realfastspanish En ese caso sí tiene sentido lo que haces. Debe ser muy tentador para un anglosajón llamar a la H "jache" o "jeich", eliminando la h evitas esta tentación. Con respecto a la pronunciación de la R, lo haces muy bien (nearly perfect), sólo que he notado que cuando una palabra lleva r en el medio, te cuesta un poco pronunciar ésta r, debes darle el mismo énfasis que a la r final (ej: Miramar).
