170+ Spanish Words That Start with L (with Audio)

When it’s not starring as the first character in a word, the letter L can affect the pronunciation of its neighboring letters, particularly when the letter appears in syllables like “bla,” “ble,” “pli,” etc.

But when it’s the first letter in a Spanish word, its pronunciation is pretty similar to the English L.

Watch out, though! L and Ll sound very different in Spanish. Until 2010, L and Ll were considered separate letters in the Spanish alphabet. Even though the Ll is now just a variation of L, I’ll be treating them as separate letters. This post only covers L-words in Spanish.
