Why are the English and Spanish alphabets (and sometimes whole words) similar?

What are the extra letters that the Spanish alphabet has but English does not?

But actually - are all of these still considered letters of the alphabet?

Who says so? http://www.rae.es/consultas/exclusion-de-ch-y-ll-del-abecedario

Which two letters are only used in foreign or borrowed words?

What is a borrowed word? Can you think of any that we have borrowed from Spanish?

What two letters are pronounced the same? How can we better distinguish between the two?
