Difference between 'e' and 'y'?

Hola!

Quiero Saber la diferencia entre ‘e’ y ‘y’.

(I wish to know the difference, if any, between ‘e’ and ‘y’ because both of them are used in this lesson)

Gracias

I found this explanation:

‘E’ se usa en vez de ‘y’ cuando la próxima palabra empieza con el sonido de i (o sea, e italiano, e hijo).

Veo que ya ha respondido Sanne, y mejor explicado. Muchas gracias.

Thanks Sanne and Aybee :smiley:

And by the way, is there a collection of the news in Spanish with transcript in the library? I couldn’t find one! Something like “Le journal en francais facile” by RFI.
