Does the second C in Seleccionados cause the first C to sound like an English K “Seleksionados” or is the cc just stressed? Gracias

It’s pronounced “ks” (or “kth” depending on dialect).
(Just out of curiosity – how do you stress a consonant? I thought only vowels can be stressed or unstressed :thinking: )

I read somewhere that first of cc is a k then a c.

@Alan-Clifford a much used word at the moment in my flat -

  • ¡Hace frío! ¿Has puesto la calefacción?
  • Sí, ¡he puesto la calefacción!
  • (grumble, grumble) ¡Todavía tengo frío!

Stressed probably wasn’t the right term, I didn’t mean it in a grammatical rule way. “emphasised” maybe?

Thanks for clarifying the pronunciation
