The chart to the left shows the capital letters along with name of each letter. (In parentheses I have added what the name of the letter sounds similar to in English so you can pronounce them easier)

It may interest you to know that not all authorities (or at least not all textbooks) agree on which letters make up the alphabet.

Some lists don't include W (sometimes referred to as uve doble, doble uve, or doble u) and K, which exist almost exclusively in words of foreign origin, such as kilowatt. And some lists count RR (erre), whose sound usually is different than that of R, as a separate letter.

The Academy also has ruled that while CH and LL are considered letters, for alphabetization purposes only they should not be treated that way. It used to be that dictionaries would list all the words beginning with CH separately, after the words beginning with C, so, for example, the word achatar would be listed after acordar. But in most modern dictionaries, the words are alphabetized as they would be in English (except that the Ñ comes after the N).

Note also that the letters B and V have exactly the same pronunciation, and their names are pronounced exactly alike. Some colorful expressions are used to indicate which letter is being used, such as B de burro and V de vaca (roughly, "B as in burro" and "V as in vaca"). Sometimes B is referred to as being grande ("big B") and the V as uve or ve chica("little V").
