How to say the A B C's
By Anthony Buchanico and Teige Dougherty
The abc's are actually very similar to the english translation.
A=ah
B=beh
C=seh
CH=cheh
D=deh
E=eh
F=efeh
G=heh
H=ah-cheh
I=eee
J=ho-ta
K=ka
L=eleh
LL=elleh
M=emeh
N=eneh
Ñ=enyeh
O=oh
P=peh
Q=cooooo
R=ereh
S=eseh
T=teh
U=ooo
V=veh
W=dobleh veh
X= Eh-quis
Y= eee-gree-eh-gah
Z= zetah
Notice how there are more letters in the spanish language then there are in the english language. This is because the different combination make different sounds. Like ll makes the same sound that the Y does in english. Also the Ñ makes more a of a ny noise. Although saying the letter Y in spanish looks daunting, it really is not that difficult to say. Just practice saying the letter slowly and after a while you can bring it up to speed so you can sing El Alfabeto with us.
Teige walks up to Anthony who is singing.
¡Hola!
Anthony ¡Buenos dias! ¿Que les guste cantar conmigo?
Teige: ¡Sí!
(singing)
English translation
Hey
Anthony: Hi! Would you like to sing with me?
Teige: Yes!

Manners in Spanish
By Anthony Buchanico and Teige Dougherty
As with anything, you want to look nice and have manners. There are a couple ways to say thank you, you're welcome and excuse me in spanish. These are listed below.
Perdón - Excuse me (used when somebody's in the way)
Con permiso - Excuse me (trying to get attention)
Disculpe - Excuse me ( bumping into someone)
Gracias - thank you
Muchos gracias - much thanks
Mil gracias - many thanks
Denada - You're welcome
Pór Nada - You're welcome
No hay de que - You're welcome
Por favor - please
These phrases all mean the same so therefore it is your choice to pick which one you use (ecept for excuse me). When using thank you I suggest using it depending on the situation. Having your life saved is Mil gracias while just obtaining a penny should be gracias. Other then that everything else is just a matter of choice.
