That letter pronunciation guide doesn't seem too accurate to me, and
leaves out some very common alternate pronunciations to boot.
Here's how they sound to me.
A - ah
B - beh
C - seh
CH - cheh
D - deh
E - eh
F - ef'-feh
G - heh
H - ah'-cheh
I - ee (long e sound)
J - ho'-tah
K - kah
L - eh'-leh
LL - eh'-yeh, ehl'-yeh, eh'-jeh, or even eh'-sheh or doe-bleh-eh'-leh
M - em'-eh
N - en'-eh
Ñ - en'-yeh
O - oh
P - peh
Q - koo
R - eh'-reh
S - eh'-seh
T - teh
U - ooh
V - beh, or sometimes ooh-beh
W - doe-bleh-ooh, doe-bleh-beh, sometimes ooh-beh-doe-bleh
X - eh'-kees
Y - ee-gree-eh'-gah, yeh, jeh, or sheh
Z - seh'-tah
Note that B and V sound alike, which could cause some confusion.
Also, when letters are doubled, they can be combined into a "doble".
For example, I've heard XEEY often identify as Eh'-kees Doe'-bleh-eh'
Yeh.
Wikipedia has a pretty good article on the Spanish alphabet:
