General Spanish grammar
The Spanish alphabet
The Spanish alphabet is the same as the English. Some letters are originally not used, but are used for loanwords. Some letters don't exist in English but are used in Spanish. Spanish is a phonetic language which means there is a direct link between the written word and the pronunciation of it: What you read is what you speak. See the table with all the letters and their pronunciations...
The word stress in Spanish words
