📖 About the Spanish Alphabet — The Spanish alphabet (abecedario) has 27 letters. It includes the letter Ñ which is unique to Spanish. Spanish is a phonetic language, meaning words are pronounced as they are written. This makes learning the alphabet essential for proper pronunciation.

🎯 Pronunciation Tips:

🔵 The Letter "C"
In Spanish, "C" is pronounced as /s/ before "e" and "i" (ce, ci), and as /k/ before "a", "o", "u".
سے پہلے "س" اور باقی جگہ "ک"
🔵 The Letter "G"
"G" is pronounced as /h/ (like English 'h') before "e" and "i" (ge, gi), and as /g/ before "a", "o", "u".
گے پہلے "ہ" اور باقی جگہ "گ"
🔵 The Letter "J"
"J" is always pronounced as a strong /h/ sound, like the 'ch' in "loch" or the 'h' in "house" but stronger.
ہمیشہ مضبوط "ہ" کی آواز
🔵 The Letter "R"
Single "R" between vowels is a soft tap. Double "RR" or word-initial "R" is rolled (trilled).
ایک "ر" نرم، دو "ر" یا شروع میں گھمائی
🔵 The Letter "Ñ"
"Ñ" represents the "ny" sound, similar to the "ny" in "canyon" or the "ñ" in "señor".
"نی" کی آواز، جیسے "کینین" میں
🔵 The Letter "H"
In Spanish, "H" is always silent. It is never pronounced.
ہمیشہ خاموش، کبھی نہیں بولی جاتی
