Pronouncing the Hard 'K' Sound
The letter 'c' sounds like 'k' when followed by a, o, or u (tocar). However, if you need to use the 'k' sound before e or i, the spelling changes to 'qu' (e.g., toqué, toques).
Confusing 'Tocar' with 'Sentir'
Mistake: “Using 'tocar' to express emotional feeling (e.g., 'Toco triste').”
Correction: Use 'sentir' for feelings ('Siento triste') and 'tocar' only for physical contact or playing music.
