Spanish phonics – The 'ñ' sound

This Spanish scheme of work video introduces pupils to the nasal ñ’ sound; the focus here is on accuracy, articulation and recognising where and how it appears in Spanish vocabulary.

Pupils are guided through “mouth mechanics” to ensure their pronunciation is clear and consistent. They practise making the /n/ sound by touching the tip of the tongue to the ridge behind the upper teeth and letting the air flow through the nose. Visual cues and spoken examples help pupils connect sound with spelling and meaning.

The video includes opportunities for sound-spotting and repetition, supporting both listening skills and pronunciation. It helps pupils recognise that even familiar sounds require attention when learning a new language.

This video builds pupils’ confidence with key consonant sounds, forming the foundation for accurate and expressive Spanish speaking.
