El Alphabeto
Why is the Alphabet so important? Because it it the foundation for any language and if students of a language are able to understand the sounds that the letters make in the target language, it will make it easier for the student to pronounce the words and understand what they are hearing when spoken.
The beautiful thing about Spanish is the way the words are spelled, is the way they are pronounced. All students will experience success with pronunciation when they take the time to learn the alphabet and understand the sounds they make. Below is a PDF of the Spanish Alphabet with their letter names and the sounds that they make. To the right are videos that can help students learn the names of the letters of the Spanish Alphabet. The first video is the best because it not only goes over the entire alphabet several times, but it has a special focus on the vowels and even puts them together with other consonants to demonstrate their sounds in syllables.
Below is a file with the alphabet with the letters, names and their phonemes.

With the Quizlet Flashcards, click on the letter and listen to the pronunciation of the letter, then repeat it. This will give you a basic understanding of beginning pronunciation. Spanish is very phonetic, so this makes it easier to pronounce and figure out how words are spelled because the way it is said is the way the word is spelled.
