I wantg to hear what the aphebets in spanish sounds like using phonics.

First, it is alphabet, and there is only one, with 27 letters in it.

Second, the Spanish alphabet is phonetic already, unlike in English, and the phonics you learned in English is useless to pronounce Spanish, because it lacks sounds, and it uses sounds that don't exist in Spanish. Read here.

http://www.studyspanish.com/pronunciation/

But read that link too!!

That page has quite a few good things. What I like most is when they ask you to contrast the correct pronunciation and the non-Spanish with with a heavy accent. I think that is invaluable!

What I don't like is that the woman from Spain, in an attempt to sound too clear, when she speaks slowly, she produces sounds that are too artificial, and even incorrect sometimes, not realizing that when words are pronounced naturally in a sentence, they don't sound exactly as if each of its letters were pronounced individually. When she says the words faster, she sounds pretty well, though.

Here is a link that may help if what you mean to be asking is reflected in Samdie's comments;

...and the other to how a letter is pronounced when it occurs in a word (as discussed in the link that Lazarus provided).

You should also bear in mind that there are two possible interpretations of you question. One refers to the pronunciation of the names of the letters (see alphabet song above) and the other to how a letter is pronounced when it occurs in a word (as discussed in the link that Lazarus provided).
