The people of Peru speak three different languages: Spanish, Quechua (both of these are considered official languages) and Aymara, which although it is spoken widely in Peru, is not considered an official language as such.

Spanish is defined as a Romance language, and is about the third or fourth most widely spoken language in the world. The origin of modern Spanish traces back to vulgar Latin which was influenced by Basque (the indigenous people of Spain and France) and Arabic. The word vulgar means ‘common’ and comes from the Latin word ‘vulgus’ which means ‘people’. Vulgar Latin has it roots in many other modern day languages, such as French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian.

Spanish was introduced to the Americas in the 16th century when Spain colonized the Americas, bringing their language and customs (some extremely detrimental to the indigenous peoples) to the “New World”.

The Spanish alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet. It uses the standard 26 letters:

A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P - Q - R - S - T - U - V - X - W - Y - Z

Spanish also uses the accent marks acute (´), diaeresis (¨), and tilde(~). The most frequent combinations are: á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ. Accent marks have no impact on the order of the alphabet.

Acute
Used to mark stress on a syllable that does not follow the normal pattern of the language.

Diaeresis
Used on the vowel ‘u’ to indicate that it is pronounced when normally the vowel would be silent.

Tilde
The n with tilde (ñ) is used to indicate a nasal sound (“nya”) should be produced when pronouncing the word.

Hola, amigas Y amigos.

Paola, nosotros podria hablar quiza de la pronunciacion del alfabeto - I, A, F, G, J, K y como se utilizan. Y cuando rodar su R's, o como a. Se que esto me ayudo mucho en escuela al intentar aprender espanol.

Paola, I was thinking, maybe we could talk about the pronunciation of the alphabet -l, A, f, g, J, K- and how they are used. And when to roll your Rs, or how to.  I know this helped me a lot in school when trying to speak spanish well.
