Spanish is spoken by close to 500 million people, across Spain and most of Latin America. Spanish spelling stays close enough to its pronunciation that most words sound the way they look once a few core rules click into place — stress usually falls on a predictable syllable, and vowels are always pronounced the same way.
The course covers the same six themes as every Nocturnal Voice language: greetings, daily life, travel, conversation, numbers, and body & mind. Every phrase is spoken aloud, shown with a phonetic guide, and listed in full underneath the player — read along, listen with your eyes closed, or both.
Spanish is written with the Latin alphabet, with a few accented vowels and the letter ñ. If it looks unfamiliar, that's normal — the phonetic guide under every phrase on this page (and in the word list below the player) exists specifically so you never have to guess.
English speakers often skip the tildes and accent marks, but they can change both meaning and word stress — sà (yes) and si (if) are a common mix-up.
