The spanish alphabet has all the english letters through A to Z, but it has some differences:
- The Ñ character, located between N and O, and it's pronounced like a fast "ni" sound. For example, "Añadir" (to add).
- The H is a mute character. It doesn't make a sound, save for CH, where the sound is similar to the english CH. For example, "Hacha" (axe)
- The Y has two sounds, one like the english Y, but stronger. For example, "Baya" (berry). The other one it's lke the I. For example, "Hay" (conjutation of verb "Haber", to be)
- The LL has a similar sound to the first Y (english sound). For example, "Llama" (flame)
- The R has two versions: soft and strong. The strong one is used when a word starts or ends with R, or there is an R before or after a consonante. For example, "Ronronear" (to purr). The soft one is used when there is an R in mid sentence between two vowels. For example, "Ira" (rage). Also, there are some consonant combinations that make the R a soft sound, like FR, BR and some others. If you want to give a strong sound between two vowels, you have to use RR. For example: "Ahorrar" (to save)
- The B and V in some spanish speaking places have different pronunciations. In others (like here, in Chile) the sound is "B" for both. For example: "Vaya" (conjugation of verb "Ir", to go) vs. Baya (as said above, berry).
Hope it helps

I forgot to add:
- The J sound is like when you accumulate saliva from your throat before spitting it (hahaha bad example xP). For example: "Jarrón" (vase).
- The G also has two sounds. The first one is more like the one in "alligator" for GA, GO and GU. For example: "Gato" (cat). The second one, for GE and GI is similar to JE and JI respectively. For example: "Gengibre" (ginger). To make an "alligator g" sound for those ones you have to put an U between the G and the vowel, resulting into GUE and GUI respectively. For example: "Guitarra" (guitar). If you want to make the U actually sound, you have to put a diaeresis on the U, resulting into GÜE and GÜI respectively. For example: "Vergüenza" (shame / embarrassment).
- The Q is always followed by and U, and the latter one is never pronounced. For example: "Queso" (cheese).
- The C has a K sound for CA, CO and CU, and a S sound for CE and CI.For example: "Casa" (house) vs. "Cielo" (sky / heaven).
Sorry for forgetting that. Hope it helps :)
