One more challenge for today. There are words that get stuck and don’t want to get out of your throat in Spanish and other times you have spelling doubts and you misspell them. In general, these are words that contain the letters j and g ), ñ , or, among others, those combinations that are accompanied by ü (u with umlauts). You have to practice them. Write them, pronounce them, and identify them in the context of one of our news news articles. There is no other way. To make it easier for you, we have selected 33. There aren’t many, so… hit them hard!
