Pronunciation of the Days in Spanish

Now it is time to learn the pronunciation of days of the week in Spanish.
Angélica (from Chile) will say the name of each day in Spanish at a natural speed.
Listen once or twice to hear and get accustomed to the pronunciation of each day and then the next couple of times YOU try to say each day in Spanish at the same speed as Angélica says them.
Remember: The J at the beginning of JUEVES is pronounced like an H in English.

WRITING TIP: The days of the week in Spanish do not begin with a capital letter like they do in English.
