Remember de rule for the letter C: when it comes before an e or an i, it is pronounced like the ¿th¿ sound in ¿thank you¿. Everywhere else it is hard, like a ¿k¿. Practice with the following examples: lección, tercera, cinco, conocer, decimos, principio, vacaciones, hacer, fácil. The letter z is always pronounced like a ¿th¿. Zaragoza, calzados. This lisping sound is peculiar to Castilian Spanish, and exists neither in the South of Spain, nor in Latin America, where it is replaced by the straightforward ¿s¿ sound.
