How To Pronounce The Most Googled Spanish Words

Free Spanish vocabulary guide for English speakers: the most Googled words in Spanish

Intro

🤨Have you ever wondered if you correctly pronounce the Spanish expressions that everyone knows, such as “SOMBRERO”, “FELIZ NAVIDAD” or “CHORIZO”?

😱It is possible that you have been mispronouncing those internationalized Spanish words wrong… Your whole life!

😊In this guide with video, audio, cheat sheet, flashcards, and quiz to practice I will teach you how to pronounce Spanish words that surely ring a bell.

❔And, if they do not sound familiar, you may have ever stopped to think, for example, “how do you say 🐆 “jaguar” in Spanish?”

  • This guide has the purpose of answering your questions and to satisfy your curiosity.
  • This list is the result of a research on which are the most googled words and phrases in Spanish by foreigners on the Internet.

❓💻That is, I show you here the words that many people ask Google “how do you say … in Spanish?”.

  • You will find all these words here so that, from now on, you can use them correctly.

🔝Attention: I selected these expressions following a criterion of popularity among foreigners.

Does a beginner need to know all this Spanish vocabulary?

  • Some of these are words that you, as a beginner, should know.
  • But many other words do not need to be on your “top priority” Spanish vocabulary list…
  • Maybe you want to at least see and hear these words now, but you just want to incorporate them later into your Spanish vocabulary.

🔝Since we are talking about top-priority vocab, you have three Spanish vocabulary guides that I do advise you to check out:

46 first words in Spanish.

99+ most relevant verbs in Spanish.

225+ basic Spanish nouns.

👉Who is this Spanish material for?

  • If you do not speak any Spanish, you can start with this guide.
  • If you do already speak some Spanish, this guide will trigger your memory and help you improve your Spanish pronunciation.
  • In both cases, you’re sure to learn new and interesting things here.

  • There are words where there are even more than two variations, like 🧅“CEBOLLA” (“onion”), which can be pronounced in four slightly different ways… And they are all correct!

😂After all, Spanish is such a fun language that, whatever you say, it sounds quite nice. I could give you thousands of examples, and here’s one – a song whose chorus is just “Y SIENTO UN TUKITUKI”! It is simple and a little silly (“and I feel tukituki”, which is the sound of a beating heart), but it gives you feel-good Spanish vibes!

😁So, let’s get this party started!
