Does the spanish alphabet have same vowels as english?

No, the Spanish alphabet does not have the same vowels as English.

Here's why:

* Spanish has 5 vowels: A, E, I, O, U

* English has 12-15 vowels, depending on how they are counted: A, E, I, O, U, and then additional sounds like "a" in "cat", "a" in "father", "i" in "bit", "i" in "bite", "o" in "hot", "o" in "go", etc.

This means that while Spanish and English share the same five basic vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U), they pronounce them differently and have different additional vowel sounds.
