Unlike in English, the Spanish ch is always pronounced in the same way. Spanish cognates of English words where the "ch" has a different pronunciation are typically not spelled with a ch in Spanish. For example, the Spanish equivalent of "architect" is arquitecto.
The CH in Spanish is considered to be a separate letter of the alphabet. However, words with ch in them are alphabetized in Spanish the same as they would be in English.
Words and phrases in our audio lesson on pronouncing ch are muchas gracias, charlar, china and chino.
