Learning the alphabet is the absolute basis to learning a language. In order to be able to read and write, you need to know how to pronounce different letters. Some languages, like English, have lots of different rules to memorize when it comes to pronunciation. In Spanish, every letter makes the same sound consistently, except for \u201cg\u201d and \u201cc\u201d, which sometimes sound different. Why is that? We\u2019ll show you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El espa\u00f1ol es una lengua fon\u00e9tica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El espa\u00f1ol es lo que los eruditos llaman una lengua fon\u00e9tica, lo que significa que puedes averiguar c\u00f3mo pronunciar palabras<\/a> by just looking at it. That\u2019s also why accent marks are so useful! They tell you exactamente donde el estr\u00e9s<\/a> tiene que estar en las palabras que rompen las reglas de los patrones de acentuaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there always seems to be an exception, doesn\u2019t there? All letters make the same sound, except the letters \u201cc\u201d and \u201cg\u201d, which have two different sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cC\u201d and \u201cG\u201d sound different in predictable ways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No te preocupes, aunque estas letras puedan emitir sonidos diferentes, existe un sencillo truco para poder saber qu\u00e9 sonido emiten en un contexto determinado. Como la mayor\u00eda de las lenguas, el espa\u00f1ol ha sufrido muchas transformaciones a lo largo de los a\u00f1os, y la influencia de distintas lenguas ha hecho que estas dos letras representen dos sonidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we need to make a distinction between soft and hard sounds. For the letter \u201cc\u201d, it\u2019s soft when it sounds like an English \u201cs\u201d, and it\u2019s hard when it makes a \u201ck\u201d sound. For the letter \u201cG\u201d, it\u2019s soft when it makes an English \u201ch\u201d sound, and it\u2019s hard when it makes an English \u201cg\u201d sound, as in \u201cgoat\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suave despu\u00e9s de e o i, duro despu\u00e9s de a, o, u<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sound \u201cc\u201d and \u201cg\u201d make depends on the letter that comes after. If they are followed by an i or an e, they make a soft sound, and when followed by an a, o or u, they make a hard sound. Let\u2019s practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intenta pronunciar estas dos palabras, prestando atenci\u00f3n a la regla que acabamos de aprender:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • g<\/strong>ig<\/strong>ante<\/li>
  • c<\/strong>irc<\/strong>o<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Both of these words use the soft and hard version of the letters! \u201cGigante\u201d sounds like \u201che-GAN-tay\u201d, and \u201ccirco\u201d sounds like \u201cseer-co\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next time you come across a new word with a \u201cc\u201d or a \u201cg\u201d, remember these rules and you\u2019ll be able to decode it like a pro!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
