Pronouncing Spanish - start at the beginning (Y)

Why, indeed. (That's por qué in Spanish.) The letter Y, though, has just recently, a couple of weeks ago, undergone some changes: it used to be called I griega (Greek I, as opposed to the Latin I, or I latina) but it's new official name is now ye (pronounced as in ye-s). This will not be apparent when you click the image, so just bear it in mind. On its own, as a conjunction, y means 'and', so tu y yo  is 'you and I'. ¿Pero por qué? Porque sí. But why? Because. (Note: please do not ask for frentes I griega, when shopping for underclothes, men. You're not going to look like the picture anyway and we can't remember what the right words for y-fronts are but are glad of self-service at Primark.)
