C - Pronunciación - Spanish Pronunciation

The Spanish letter C can be pronounced in two different ways.

		Examples
1.	When the C precedes an E or an I, it is a soft C and is pronounced like a TH (in Spain)* or an S (in Latin America).	once diciembre
2.	When the C precedes an A, O, U, or a consonant it is a *hard C* and is pronounced like a K.	como cuatro octubre

*This is what you will hear in the sound files.

Please note that this explanation is only a guideline for the Spanish that I know, which is Castilian Spanish. There are many regional variations in Spanish pronunciation.
