D - Pronunciación - Spanish Pronunciation

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

		Similar English sound	Spanish examples
1.	When the D is at the beginning of a word or after L or N, it is pronounced like an English D.	dog had	dos diez cuándo dónde falda
2.	When the D follows a vowel or any consonant except L or N, it sounds like a voiced English TH. At the end of a word, it may be pronounced more softly or not at all.	this bathe	adiós nublado perdón sábado salud

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.
