What is the alphabet in Spanish and how is it pronounced?

I'm an English speaker trying to learn Spanish, and I keep coming across terms like "alfabeta" which seems to refer to the alphabet in Spanish. I've found a few resources that mention the alphabet in Spanish being similar to the English alphabet with only a few additional letters, but I'm having trouble finding information on how these letters are pronounced. Anybody have any insights or resources they can share with me?

The alphabet in Spanish is similar to the English alphabet, with a few additional letters such as é, í, ñ, and ü. In European Spanish, these letters are pronounced as: e (like 'e' in 'pet'), i (like 'i' in 'hit'), u (like 'oo' in 'boot'), c with a cedilla (Á) is like a hard 'k', and ch is a sharp, guttural sound. In Latin American Spanish, these letters are often pronounced slightly differently. For example, the letter 'c' before a vowel may be soft, so Á is more like an 'ah' sound in some dialects. The pronunciation of these additional letters can vary depending on the country or region you're in.
