The letter ch

When I learned el alphabeto, it went like this: "A B C Ch D E F G..." Is Ch ("che") really a letter? Also, it included Ll and Rr. Is this just to familiarize non-native speakers with the sounds?

W was never a letter in Spanish, nor was K. And I'm in Spanish 2. - Elena_Delgada, Oct 10, 2011

When I learned it I was taught the same thing. They really are letters and they are used in words like churro, llevar, carro.

I know they are used, but I'm wondering if native speakers consider them letters or just doubling a letter. - Elena_Delgada, Oct 10, 2011
I'm pretty sure they are letters, or they wouldn't be included in the alphabet. - ztech282, Oct 10, 2011
I guess a better way to phrase it is in the the alphabet in Spanish-speaking countries? - Elena_Delgada, Oct 10, 2011
It is part of their national alphabet. I have family members in argentina and that is how they taught me. - ztech282, Oct 10, 2011
Ah. Thank you. - Elena_Delgada, Oct 10, 2011
