Spanish Phonetic Alphabet
The Spanish phonetic alphabet will come in so very handy when you phone or speak to a Spanish business to enquire about some information. You agree that they can send you some information via email… but then they ask you to spell it for them.
We have already shown you how to pronounce the alphabet… but what about phonetics? It will make it so much easier if you could say the Spanish equivalent to “F for foxtrot” – so here is a handy list of the Spanish phonetic alphabet. Bookmark it on your computer, or print it out for next to your telephone… so you always have it to hand.
Good luck!

* B – Barcelona

Hi Elle, it’s a very handy list but your Printfriendly isn’t really that friendly. I know Alan is fiercely protective of his written word, and quite rightly so, but as your site doesn’t allow copy & pasting if you’re going to have a print facility on pages like this one or recipes for example it would be nice to be able to print it as seen. Printfriendly doesn’t do that, it only lets you print a list in paragraph form which, for the purposes of this page makes it a lot harder to read which almost defeats the purpose. I know that you produce great sites, but his one would be even better with a different print off method.

Hi Alf, and thanks for the feedback. Printfriendly is part of a standard plugin that we use, rather than a standalone button… but maybe we need to look at an alternative. Leave it with us love… and we’ll see what we can do.
