Spanish only has one alphabet, like English. The alphabet, though, is full of letters. The word alphabet comes from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, called alpha and beta.

Only one official alphabet at any given time, however the list of letters and their names is subject to change. - lorenzo9, Dec 3, 2010
Same in English. You-ve lost your the thorn, for example. See a history book to see these changes. In modern Spanish these changes are taken to make spelling easier (unlike other languages with a more "stable" alphabet) - lazarus1907, Dec 3, 2010
True,but changes like dropping ll and ch and the name for 'v' are a tad more recent. It is interesting that thorn and edth survive in relativity theory. - lorenzo9, Dec 3, 2010

Use any one of the many children's 'alfabeto' Youtube videos. Here is just one ----> alfabeto, or

use this URL to find a clickable alfabeto about 1/2 way down the page ----> alfabeto

Either of these methods sound out the alphabet for you to help you to learn better pronounciation.
