El alfabeto español
The Spanish alphabet is similar to the English alphabet, however we have an additional letter "Ñ ñ" that is the symbol of the Castilian language- la "ñ" de España y español.
What do we NEED to know?
We need to know the NAMES of the letters
Spanish vowel sounds never change: A E I O U
Most of the letters don't change sounds, some do
What is GOOD to know?
Words in Spanish usually follow a consonant-vowel pattern
K and W are not typically found in words that come from Latin
CH- LL and rr were "removed" from the alphabet, however we teach them to help students with reading and pronunciation
