EU Spanish Pronunciation Video 1: Spanish (European) Phonetics and Spelling

This is the first of a three-part series on European Spanish pronunciation. The goal is to quickly familiarize you with the sounds of Spanish and the IPA symbols for those sounds. You'll then be able to learn them faster, either through your own studies or through my pronunciation trainers. Enjoy!

[@dorjeboleskine4115]

"European Spanish"? Don't you realise that this is specific to Madrid and Northern Spain in particular and not to Spain in general? There are three forms of Castilian Spanish spoken in Spain: distinción (what you're talking about) as well as seseo (which is also spoken in Latin America) and ceceo. So your phrase "European Spanish" is a complete misnomer.

[@TheMaru666]

Formal and standard spanish in spain don' t have seseo nor ceceo .

[@RuberDildo]

Castilian is the one with distinción, not the others. And do you realise ceceo and seseo are specific to Andalucía and Canarias in particular and not to Spain in general?
