 THE PRONUNCIATION OF SPANISH.

The Spanish language has but one accent, called acento agudo, which is placed over the vowels a, e, i, o, u; it serves to lengthen the syllable and to accentuate it more distinctly and forcibly than the other vowels.

As a general rule, all Spanish words ending in a vowel are accentuated on the penultimate, or the last syllable but one; they do not, therefore, require the accent, but if any other syllable is to be accented it is indicated.

With the exception of proper names and adverbs, most words ending in a consonant have the accent on the last syllable.

The Spanish a always has the sound of the English a in father; the e that of ay in English; the i that of ee; the o that of oh; and the u that of oo, as in boot, root, etc.

The vowels in Spanish must always be fully and distinctly pronounced, but the u is silent in the syllables gue, gui, que, qui, which are pronounced gay, gee, kay, kee.

The Spanish y has a sound nearly equivalent to the English j; the z exactly that of English th, as also the Spanish c when it comes before e or i. All the other consonants are sounded as in English except ll, which is pronounced as ly in English.

In the English interpretation of the sound of the Spanish words the th has always the lisping sound of these letters in thin, path, etc.

The main difficulty in pronouncing Spanish is the j (hoetah), which has the sound of h very strongly aspirated.
