Trick for memorizing Spanish Alphabets

You probably had noticed that some of the Spanish Alphabets starts off with “e” and then the letter itself (two or one times) and ends with an “e”.
The pattern started after the letter E
These are the alphabets:
E-e
F-efe
L-ele
LL-elle
M-eme
N-ene
Ñ-eñe
R-ere
RR-erre
S-ese
Ve Chica and doble ve is very easy to memorize if you know the trick. Since, Ve sounds like the English alphabet of saying “V”. You would know that V is Ve chica (it start with a V too) and then doble ve can be view as double “V” which symbolized “W”!

What you need to know:

1. what some nice friendly goodbyes are in spanish and translated in English

Chao- Bye (slang)

Mucho gusto- Nice meeting you

Un placer- It's a pleasure

Encantado/a- delighted to meet you

Here's an example:

Spanish I: Numbers 100-900 by Mingxue Zheng and Lala Doumbia

Posted by Mingxue Zheng in Spanish 1 - Bey on Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 2:30 pm

Welcome to the lesson of the hundreds. You had probably noticed that every set of numbers had their own patterns, and so as the hundreds.

Numbers 100 - 999: In these set of numbers, the hundreds and the tens place don’t need to be connected by “y.” But, you need to connect the tens and the ones place by “y”

Numerals	Spanish	Pronunication
100	Cien	(see-in)
101	Ciento	(see-in-doe)
102	Ciento dos	(see-in-doe) (doe-s)
144	Ciento caurenta y cautro	(see-in-doe) (qua-ring-da) (e) (qua-joe)
200	Doscientos	(doe-s-see-in-doe-s)
202	Doscientos dos	(doe-s-see-in-doe-s) (doe-s)
300	Trescientos	(tris-see-in-doe-s)
389	Trescientos ochenta y nueve	(tris-see-doe-s) (all-chen-da) (e) (new-wave-ve)
400	cuatrocientos	(qua-joe-see-in-doe-s)
500	Quientos	(key-in-doe-s)
600	Seiscientos	(sis-see-in-doe-s)
700	Sietecientos	(see-at-de-see-in-doe-s)
800	Ochocientos	(all-cho-see-in-doe-s)
900	Novecientos	(no-ve-see-in-doe-s)
999	Novecientos noventa y nueve	(no-ve-see-in-doe-s) (no-van-da) (e) (new-wave-ve)

Trick: The single number + cientos (100, plural with a “s”) + the tens place (without “y”) + y (connect the tens and the ones place) + (single number)

EX: 685

Seiscientos ochenta y cinco

or,

EX: 105

Ciento (single, no “s”) cinco
