There are lots of resources on the internet, so I'll try to offer three options I think can be useful.

But before going ahead, let me tell you there are some differences between the Spanish spoken in America and the Spanish spoken in Spain.

  1. Letters "c" and "z". In Spain, we pronounce it like a stronger English "th". On the other side, in America they are pronounced like an "s". Note that even in Spain, mostly in the South, these two letters are also pronounced as an "s".
  2. "j" and "g" letters, in Spain are pronounced much more stronger than in America.

So, knowing that, let's start. Enjoy and learn!

Ah! Note that "w" is named as "doble v", but Spain we call it "uve doble".
