Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 hi lynda i go back and forth with these things. the gn is similar to the ñ sound, but not interchangeable, because the gn is sound is a bit longer. and the ñ is nasal palate the y we also called the greek i, and is sometime confused with ll which is the letter in the alphabet after l. If I remember correctly ch, the fourth letter of the alphabet is pronounced differently in italian, maybe like a k? I was told there was no letter w, then i said yes there is, I being exposed to W by my mother. the w was not part of the spanish alfabet. and has been incorporated, however all of the words that start with W are americanisms or spanglish. I have seen rr as a letter but not oficial, then making it to 30 letter of the alfabet. also, the c is also an s and the qu a k, but the k is rarely used because the c is also a k, and the c is also a q but c is always more important than k.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think no one should learn to read a language until they learn to speak it <g> They are ALL much too confusing when you have to write them down!
