  Spanish language, alphabet and pronunciation
Spanish is a Romance language with approximately 417 million speakers, 322 to 358 of whom speak it as a first language while the remainder speak it as a second language.
Spanish first started to appear in writing in the form of notes and glosses in Latin religious texts, the Glosas Emilianenses, dating from the 11th century.
Spanish prose flowered during the reign of King Alfonso X the Wise of Castile (1252-84), who in addition to being the king and a poet, also found time to write an encyclopaedia in Spanish called Las Partidas, which contains laws, chronicles, recipes, and rules for hunting, chess and card games.

 How to teach the alphabet to Spanish Speakers
You must first teach the alphabetic sound so that the student is familiar with the sound of the alphabet, and then start teaching the student that there are two sounds that are heard in most languages.
These two sounds are the alphabetic sounds, which is the sound of the alphabet when you pronounce the letters individually.
It is fortunate for Spanish speakers that the long and the short sounds are the same or almost the same as those sounds similarly made in Spanish.
