Pronunciación – pg. 135
La letra “d”


In Spanish, the letter “d” has two sounds. At the beginning of a sentence,
after a pause, or after the letters l or n, the “d” sounds like the English “d” in
door. In all other cases, the “d” sounds like the th of the word the.
Listen and repeat, paying close attention to the two sounds of “d.”
