Pronunciación de "t" y "d"

Postby conradzou_73047 » March 20th, 2017 2:49 am

¡Hola amigos!

I'm a beginner and found the "t" and "d" sounds almost the same in Spanish, like ¿y tú?

Are both the Spanish "t" and "d" pronounce differently from the American English "d" in that they touch the back of the front teeth.

¡Muchas gracias!
Lu

Hola Lu,

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, for non-Spanish speakers "d" and "l" sound alike. But the position of the tongue when pronouncing these are different.
They are similar to English, just practice pronouncing these words. Lugar, lago, lampara, dado, dominio, datil.
You can also check out our pronunciation series.
