Spanish Alphabet

Hi! There have been some changes to the Spanish alphabet since you learned it, and you can thank the meddling Real Academia Española for it. RR was never actually officially a letter; CH and LL were dropped as letters in 2010. In addition, V was renamed uve, W was renamed uve doble, and Y was renamed ye. Now the alphabet is a be ce de e efe ge hache i jota ka ele eme ene eñe o pe cu ere ese te u uve uve-doble equis ye zeta (A B C D E F G H I J K L M N Ñ O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z). That said, old habits die hard and in Mexico you would most often spell "vallaba" ("he fenced in") as "ve chica, a, elle, a, be grande, a."
