iron – la plancha

(Pronounced plahn-chah)

To remember that iron is pronounced plahn-chah (plancha) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

I bought myself a new iron, my old one still works so I plan to donate it to a charity (plancha) shop.

Plancha is feminine so it's la plancha. Imagine a lady getting so fed up doing the ironing that she smashes her iron against the wall.
