Question about Spain
Good morning guys, I'd like to have a better pronunciation in European Spanish, but I am not able to find any documents where it is explained how to pronounce your phonemes...Can you please help me in that by suggesting any websites or documents or materials that I should read?
Thank you so much! Have a nice day!

Hi @saramago45
Check this series (3) of videos to get a quick (but thorough) idea of the Spanish phonetics.

I find these videos very useful for starting a new language. I hope it helps.

If you look for "Spanish phonology" in google you'll find things. Wikipedia's page is explained for Spain's Spanish. Though it has some mistakes about Andalusian Spanish... (so don't pay attention to that, plus Andalusian is not neutral)
Anyway, Italian and Spanish phonologies are almost the same. The important letters you have to know are "c" and "z", which are pronounced like "th" (thing/thought) in neutral Spanish. Also "ll" and "y", which are pronounced like "j" in English (jacket/object) and "j", which is pronounced like a strong English "h". And our "h" doesn't have sound.
If you want I can recommend you some youtubers, series or whatever you want to listen to neutral Spanish and get used to it!

Well, but I meant normal series or youtubers, like to have fun while listening to our accent, they are not going to explain the phonetics :s
