Spanish to English - List of letters [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a list of the alphabetic letters in the Spanish language (ES), each letter translated into English (EN) by hearing.

For example lets take a word, presented in Spanish & English:

Anthropology ; Antropología

I don't speak Spanish , but I can clearly notice that the letter n is the same, but th is just t , etc.

Another important thing is that the list should NOT contain any vowels (letters that are translated by hearing to a, e, i, u, o)

My goal is to create a list (Es->En) that looks like this:

n,n

t, t

t, th

r,r

p,p

l,l

g,g

This is for a University project, I will appreciate if anyone could help me with this, I hope that this is a simple task for someone who speaks the language.

Thanks.

This is too long for a comment, but: I'm not sure if I understand your goal.

First, if you want to make a phonetic transcription table of each spanish consonant, you should rely not on the "corresponding" english consonant, but on the international phonetic alphabet.

Second, it's true that, both in Spanish and in English, consonants are quite "stable" in regards to phonetics: I mean, each written consonant often corresponds to a single sound; but "often" is not "always"; for example, Spanish (and English) has different sounds for 'g', depending (in Spanish) on the following letter.

Third: some consonant sounds have no correspondence. The 'r' in English is not the 'r' in Spanish, and neither has an equivalent sound in the other language.

Finally, I don't understand your example: why would we say the Spanish 't' corresponds to the English 'th' (which has several different sounds in English: "think", "that"), and not simply to the English 't'?
