Spanish is quite easy to speak as every letter in the word is pronounced so just read it as it looks. A few letters are pronounced differently in Spain to the way they are pronounced in English and we will cover these as they come up.
e.g. 'cinco' (spanish for five) is pronounced 'thinko'
'z' is pronounced as 'th' e.g. 'diez' (spanish for ten) is pronounced 'dee-eth'
'v' is always pronounced as 'b'
