Loopin

Hi! I'm Loopin, your English mentor. Today we'll master the alphabet — by the end you'll spell anything in English with confidence.

Learning Goal

By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to spell your name, address, and any English word out loud — essential for travel, work, and any conversation.

Loopin

Catalina gave you the foundation. Now I'll help you drill each piece until it clicks. Tap any letter below and I'll pronounce it for you.

The 26 Letters

Tap any letter to hear Loopin pronounce it. Hover or double-tap to see an example word.

Special Sounds in English

These sounds don't exist in Spanish — listen carefully and repeat.

Loopin

These four combinations make sounds Spanish doesn't have. Don't worry — by the end of this lesson you'll recognize them instantly.

SH
/ʃ/
Spanish
Like the sound to ask for silence: "shhh"
CH
/tʃ/
beach
Like the "ch" in "chocolate" in Spanish
TH (soft)
/θ/
think
Tongue between the teeth — no equivalent in Spanish
TH (hard)
/ð/
this
Similar but voiced — vibrate your throat
PH
/f/
phone
PH always sounds like F in English

Mini Story

Read carefully. Tap any underlined word to see its meaning.

Catalina at her home office

Hello! My name is Catalina. I am from Argentina. Every morning I drink coffee and read the news on the internet. I work at a hotel near the airport. My family is important to me — my mother, my father, my brother and my dog.

Today I am learning English. It is hard but fun. The alphabet has 26 letters, almost like Spanish, but the sounds are different. The letter H is silent in Spanish but not in English. I practice every day with my doctor friend Pedro. He says practice is the key.

Listen and Repeat

Practice the conversation:

Excellent. Remember: when there are two of the same letter, we say "double". Like SOCCER — S-O-double-C-E-R.

Key takeaways

  • English has the same 26 letters as Spanish — but most sound different.
  • There is no Ñ in English. Words like "Spanish" use NI or NY.
  • For double letters say "double X" — e.g. double L, double F.
  • Watch out for SH, CH, TH, PH — these combinations make new sounds.
