What is the color of.....?

¿De qué color es.........?

¿De qué color son.........?

In this video, I will use the colors and some of the clothing items to show how to ask when you want to find out the color of things. It is done in a slow paced way so those of you who have never study Spanish can learn how to pronounce it.

 

Pronunciation of P, T, and K

In English, the [p], [t] and [k] sounds at the beginning of a word are aspirated. In other words, they are released witha small puff of air.

In Spanish, the [p], [t] and [k] are never aspirated. The Spanish [t] is dental and the sound is made by placing the tongue against the back of the upper teeth.

The [k] in Spanish is like in english but is not aspirated. The same sound occurs when we place the letter c before consonants like in clase or before vowels such as a,o and u (casa, colores, ¿cómo?)

To English speakers the [p], [t] and [k] sound more like [b], [d] and [g].

As soon as I am able I will have some sound files or video to give you an idea of what I am talking about.
