I am creating a word/ letter game for my Spanish friend's son. My friend is keen to introduce her son to Spanish as a second language. I wanted to create a little game for them.

I've written out the alphabet including ñ, I was wondering if there are typical language sounds in Spanish for example in English we have sh, th ...

Can a Spanish speaking person giving me some examples so I can include them in the game?

Thank you

I'm not sure I understand, but when teaching the Spanish alphabet I'd usually mention

ll - 'ellay', pronounced y in a word (like llama is yama)
ch - 'chay' pronounced as we do

Other than that Spanish is phonetic and much easier to learn than English. If you know how each letter sounds you can't get them wrong in any word.

Thank you @Poetryinaction, I don't speak any Spanish at all! I'll add those to my game.

Are you sure it's a good idea to do this when you don't know any Spanish?
