Spanish Alphabet
The alphabet is the building block of the Spanish language. Usually it is the first thing a person should start learning, because without it, you can neither read nor write. This means that the following 30 min are going to be the most important in your learning quest.
How many letters are there in the Spanish alphabet?
The Spanish alphabet contains 29 letters. What are the extra letters? The answer is: In addition to the 26 usual letters you find in English, the extra letters are: ñ, ch and ll.
Below is the Spanish alphabet in a table containing 3 columns (The sound of the letters, the character, and the English equivalent). Please note that whenever there is a *, that means there is no equivalent in English and that the best way to know how the letter sounds is to click on the sound button or to read the explanation below. Make sure you repeat each letter after you hear it.
