The “ñ” sound can be written phonetically in English as “n-yah.” It’s an odd sound for English speakers, but it’s easy to learn and fun to practice. Once you master it, your Spanish accent will sound much more authentic!
To make the “ñ” sound, follow these steps:
- Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth, right behind your upper, front teeth.
- Now say the letter “n”.
- Bring your tongue down and say “yah”.
- Repeat until perfected.
To listen to the sounds and practice, have a look at this short video:
