so annoying
I found Spanish so annoying because of the c sound!!!!!! as you know c in spanish followed by i,e is will be pronounced as th sound and tons of Spanish words have th sound a lot such as cinco, cocina ,etc I can pronounce it well but sometimes there're too much in one sentence. It can be normal if th sound exists in your language. but me! as a Thai native speaker it's so annoying. do you guys fell the same too?

Hi Tawan , I would not get too tangled up with the c sound or any sound or accent too
early on in your studies , time for that when you have a firm grounding in grammar
and a large vocabulary . And if you consider that there are so many variations on
sounding a particular word correct right throughout the Spanish speaking world
whether you speak with a natural born lisp or a manufactured one is immaterial .
It will all fall into place over time , just enjoy learning this beautiful language.
And good luck !
That only occurs in Spanish from Spain (the z is also pronounced like this). If you don't like it, just always pronounce the "c" and "z" like "s"; just like every other Spanish speaker not from Spain.
I just generally have trouble with some words in Spanish, but even in English (my native language) I have trouble with knowing when to use the soft and hard sounds lof letters, but yes, you are not alone, I have trouble with Spanish c's as well.
Buena suerte!
There is this thing called "español neutro" that might appeal to you if you're bothered by the th sound. It tries to strip the language from all the regional stuff (it's a bit more complicated than that but you can read more about it yourself if you're interested). In terms of pronouncing "c" (when it's not to be pronounced as "k" of course), its rule is that "s", "c", and "z" are all pronounced as "s".
Well c followed by an I is not exactly a th sound ,,, that th sound you are referring to is pronounced around Z like in Razon and that too only in spain ,, the c sound you are referring to like cinco, cero, cocina etc. Is a slight lisping sound but certainly not a th sound ,, may be we can call it a very subtle th or ts sound ,,, but u don't need to worry about it ,, as long as your sentence construction is in order and your sentences are grammatically correct and your syllable stress is correct you will be understood quite allright. And the sounds will start coming naturally to u with time and practice.
No I have never found that a problem. I find lines like this much harder "agarraré al perro" Anything with a double r or a g or both! Se slows me down but I`m getting the hang of it slowly but surely.
