Spanish alphabet
The Spanish alphabet is very easily to learn for most Europeans as it is very similar to their own alphabets.
The Spanish alphabet has some additional letters. Also accents are used, which whilst they are not additional letters, the newcomer to Spanish should become familiar with these accents to avoid confusion.
The following letters make up the Spanish alphabet.
a, b, c, ch, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, ñ, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
