Hi, there. Well, writing in Spanish is different from writing in English because in English the letters do not resemble all the sounds. In Spanish, the letter and sounds do not suffer this change as in English. (I´m Argentinian, so my native language is Spanish). I hope you find it easy :D and just drop me a message if you need any help :D

Spanish is very easy to write as each letter has only one sound and it doesn �t change. Each vowel sounds like it �s name, no short or long vowels. Each consonant sound like the ones in English, except h which is silent, j which sounds like an h in English, and y which has asound similar to sh or y depending on the region where you are. There are also two additional letters: ñ, which sounds somewhat like an n combined with an i (pronounced "ee" in Spanish) rolling off your tongue, and ll, which has a similar sound but this time the l rolls off the tongue. Hope this helps you out. Keep in mind that you can write in Spanish without knowing much of the language, whereas English is much more complicated. I should know, I �m an American who lives in Argentina and learned how to speak Spanish after I moved here, without any previous knowledge of the language. After six months I was pretty fluent, Although it took 2 or 3 years to speak perfect Spanish without an accent. Now most people don �t even realize I �m not Argentinian if I don �t tell them. Good luck! Spanish is a beautiful language! |
