I'm hearing a lot of videos in which the "Z" sound is pronounced the same as if it were an "S", and I want to clarify that it is not so.

The "Z" in Spanish is pronounced differently.

ZA - ZE - ZI - ZO - ZU: Sound like "C" when followed by "E" or "I". "Ce..." "Ci..."

A good word to practice: "Cereza" - It does not sound "SereSa" / Correct: [θeˈɾe.θa]

"Marzo" - It does not sound "MarSo" / Correct: `[maɾ · θo]


There is also a pronunciation error with the "C" in some words

"Celebrar" - It does not sound "Selebrar" / Correct: [θe · le · βɾaɾ]

"Diciembre" - It does not sound "DiSiembre" / Correct: [di · θiem · βɾe]
