Finding the Correct Spelling of a Word

by Gi
(Bakersfield, CA)

I have trouble with the correct way to spell some words in spanish. How can I find the correct spelling of a word? Especially if I only know how to say the word in Spanish but don't know it in English or the spelling of it.

Spanish is an extremely phonetic language. Everything is spelled exactly as it's pronounced, including words borrowed from other languages, hence baseball becomes beisbol, etc. I was taught that it's pert'near impossible to misspell a Spanish word. That's not true at all; I see words misspelled all the time down here. HOWEVER, even if there are several wrong ways to spell a word, the reader will nearly always be able to pronounce it right. Example: suave, suave, zuave, zuabe. (suave is correct)
