SPANISH LANGUAGE, SPEECH AND SOME GOOD WORDS
In Spain, 4 completely different languages are spoken. Namely Galician, Basque, Catalan and Castilian which is actually the real name of the Spanish language, and which is the 4th largest language in the world. Spain is a large country and the words are therefore pronounced a little differently in all the provinces of Spain. For example, the Valencian dialect is very difficult to understand. The Andalucian dialect usually omits S at the end.
Speaking Spanish is really easy! Writing is even easier. All letters are pronounced separately, except H which is not pronounced at all. Ex hola (hello) is pronounced ela. C is pronounced with a slight read, while Z has a clear read. The most important thing is to be understood and understood, not to speak grammatically correctly.
a: open a as in CAT. There are no long a as in swimming.
b and v: are quite similar and are often pronounced b instead of v, and vice versa
c: as K when it is represented by a, o and u and all consonants. As C when it is before e and i
cc: as K + S
ch: much like when sneezing: atjoo
g: as a shower when it is in front of e and i. Otherwise as a G
h: never heard
j: as a rough rake, as a soul (actually a helper)
ll: as a J, except at the end of the word when it pronounces as L
ñ: as in the Russian njet
o: as an Å
q: as a K
u: as an O, but not in words like gue, gui, que, qui. If it is pronounced, it is marked with ü
y: as a J, except in the word y (and). Then it is pronounced as an I.
z: as a reading
å, ä, ö does not exist! And no ng sound either. Other letters, just like the Swedish ones!
It is important to emphasize the words correctly. If there is no selection, (´) all letters are pronounced the same. It is also important to keep track of masculine and feminine nouns. Words ending in -o are usually masculine and words ending in -a, -d or -ción are usually feminine. (Except dia (day) which is masculine). The rest you have to find out.
The indefinite article for (m) is UN, for (f) it is UNA.
The definite article for (m) is EL, for (f) it is LA. In plural LOS for (m) and LAS for (f).
Plural usually with S at the end, sometimes es, as

In Spain you are polite. For example, you are often told: favor, high and marked, when you ask for something or want something or want to call attention.
Spanish words can mean more than one thing, but you understand everything, because it depends on the context in which it was used. A good example is the word salida, which means exit on a motorway, departure at an airport and exit from a room. You leave what you are on! Easy.
Find out important words for your own sake and translate them and save. For example about illnesses, allergies, medications, etc. Write them down and take them on the walk.
