How are "V" and "Z" pronounced in Spanish?
Ciao! We were practicing the Spanish alphabet, but we’re confused about how to pronounce 'V' and 'Z.' It’s tricky because it sounds different in Spanish than in English. Could you help us out with that?

Hi, Alberto! Let me simplify this for you. 😊
How to Pronounce 'V' in Spanish:
- The letter 'V' sounds very similar to 'B' in Spanish.
- To say it, gently touch your lips together or almost touch them—don’t press too hard.
- Example: "Vamos" (we go) → BAH-mohs (like "B").
How to Pronounce 'Z' in Spanish:
- In Spain: Pronounce 'Z' like the "th" in "think."
- Example: "Zapato" (shoe) → thah-PAH-toh.
Quick Tip to Remember:
- Think of 'V' as a soft 'B.'
- For 'Z,' use "th" for Spain and "s" for Latin America.
Let me know if you want to practice more!
