Spanish language CU - Pronunciación - Spanish Pronunciation

In Spanish, CU + vowel makes the [kw] sound that the English Q makes.

Spanish examples

cuello

cuando

cuidado

de acuerdo

cuánto cuesta

Note that CU + consonant is simply pronounced [koo]:

cuchara

escudilla

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.
