Spanish Alphabet

Learn The Spanish Alphabet

The Spanish alphabet has changed in the last decade. In 1994, the Royal Spanish Academy removed two letters (ch and ll) from the alphabet, making it 28 letters instead of 30. Fortunately for English speakers, the official Spanish alphabet now only has two additional letters that do not appear in the English alphabet: ñ and rr. (Two of the letters in the Spanish alphabet, k and w, exist only to say words of foreign origin, like “kilómetro” and “wáter.”)

Double Click on the PLAY button below to listen to the alphabet. A space is left after each letter so that you can pronounce the letter yourself. Because most Spanish speakers are still familiar with the old alphabet, which includes ch and ll, both those letters are included here in parentheses.
