The Complete Spanish Alphabet

The Spanish alphabet has thirty (30) letters, four more than the English alphabet. If you know the English alphabet, you will know the Spanish alphabet except for the four new letters. Three of the additional letters are actually two letters that represent single sounds. They are treated as one letter, that is, they are never divided. These three sounds are "ch," "ll," and "rr." The fourth is a letter "n" with a mark called a en-yay over it. The letter "ch" in Spanish sounds like a "ch" in English, but it is considered to be another letter. The pronunciations of these four sounds will be pictured along with the sounds of the entire Spanish alphabet which is listed below. In reality the Spanish alphabet only has twenty-nine (29) letters, because the letter "w" is not in the Spanish alphabet, and is used in foreign words only.
