The Phonetic Nature of the Spanish Language

Spanish is a phonetic language, which means that the letters in words sound exactly like they do in the Spanish alphabet. This makes it easier to pronounce words even if you’re seeing them for the first time. Unlike in English, where a letter like “A” can sound like an actual “A”, “ah”, “eh” or some other sound – in Spanish, the pronunciation is more consistent.
