Very useful and nicely put together, thank you. Could you please also explain the pronunciation of the letter "d" at the end of a word? Apologies if I’ve somehow missed it.
That is such a good question. The "d" at the end of Spanish words is weak, meaning that sometimes it can barely be heard. An example of this is the word "Madrid", which many Spanish people pronounce as "Madrí".
@@SharpSpanish This is an interesting point. One observation I have made from listening ( also to you in your videos), is that the consonants in Spanish are frequently not as strongly pronounced as in English. They seem to be frequently pronounced more softly. Is there a rule that one could follow regarding this? If my observation is correct, that is.
@@LenAttard A very interesting point, indeed. I guess it really depends on the speaker and the influence they have had learning the language, as well as the speech tone and cadence they use for certain situations. Definitely worth exploring, perhaps in a future video.
This is really "THE ULTIMATE" guide to Spanish pronunciation. It is a video I shall constantly visit. Thank you.
This is super useful, thanks so much!!
