Pronouncing Spanish - start at the beginning (K)

You won't see this one a lot in Spanish. It is used almost exclusively for words 'imported' from the Greek or other languages. Otherwise, its sound represents a hard C (in English a k sound) before a, o, u, and a soft C (in English the th sound) when written before e or i. Strangely -or maybe not- you will hear the word 'okay' said as in English, for example.
