El alfabeto
In English, sounds AND letters of the alphabet are just one letter. In Spanish, each letter is spelled out, except for the vowels. For example, if I were giving a quiz on letters, if I said “eme,” you would just write “m.”
a“ah” (a)

Los vocales
The sounds that the vowels make in Spanish can get a little confusing.
A - “ah”- “father”
E - “eh”- “they”
I - “ee”- “police”
O - “oh”- “low”
U - “oo”- “sue”
PunctuationQuestion marks and exclamation points are placed upside down at the beginning of a question or exclamation. ¿ ? ¡ !
Why?
Accent marks are tilted lines placed over vowels. They indicate that you should put emphasis on that syllable. á é í ó ú
Why are they important?
A wavy line over the letter “n” is called a tilde. “ñ” = “ny” in canyon
You may sometimes (not often) see the letter “u” with two dots over it. To pronounce this letter in “pingüino,” you would say “peen-gwee-noh.” Without the two dots, it would be pronounced “peen-gee-noh.”
Commas and periods in numerals are opposite of what we are used to in English.
