Lucky for us, the Spanish alphabet is very similar to the English alphabet, with only a few exceptions. The Spanish alphabet uses the letter ñ (EH-nyeh), which is not used in the English language. The Spanish language also uses a few double consonant combinations, which are considered one letter. These include ch (CHEH), ll (EH-yeh), and rr (EH-rreh). When these letters are found in a word, they are to be treated as a single letter. You will find more information on how to pronounce them, along with examples of words containing these letters in the pronuncation section of this web site.
