THE SPANISH ALPHABET CONSISTS OF THIRTY LETTERS.
IN ENGLISH WE HAVE TWENTY SIX LETTERS.  THE FOUR NEW SPANISH LETTERS ARE
THE CH,LL, N  (    is called a tilde.  This gives a nasal sound to the n),
AND RR (a rolled r sound). THERE ARE FIVE VOWELS IN SPANISH, JUST AS IN
ENGLISH.  THE SOUNDS ARE VERY SHARP AND DISTINCT.  THE  A IS SIMILAR  TO 
THE A IN THE ENGLISH WORD FATHER - SPANISH EXAMPLE ( PAPA).  THE E SOUND
IS MUCH LIKE THE A IN THE ENGLISH WORD ABLE - SPANISH EXAMPLE ( FECHA).  
THE I SOUND IS SIMILAR TO THE LONG E IN THE ENGLISH WORD EAT - SPANISH
EXAMPLE  (SI).  THE U SOUND IS MUCH LIKE THE U IN THE ENGLISH WORD RULE - 
SPANISH EXAMPLE (SUMA).

BUENA SUERTE (GOOD LUCK!)
