Pronouncing Spanish - start at the beginning (Q)

This one's not terribly tricky. It's pronounced like a K. The only trouble arises when it is used with a -ue (as in queso, cheese) or -ui (quizás, perhaps, maybe) because you do not pronounce the U. But that has more to do with the U than the Q. In any case, we can't think of any other way it is used other than with the -ue or -ui, so that makes it even easier. Have a try, click the letter...
