The words in parentheses are how to pronounce these words. The Spanish alphabet is very similar to the English alphabet, and consists of 27 letters instead of 26.

It should be noted that ene (n) and eñe (ñ) are TWO DIFFERENT LETTERS!!!

Also, it should be noted that b and v are both pronounced the same way.

In real life, one will need to know the alphabet in order to mingle with a typical Spanish society. It will be needed at some point in their lives. It is necessary for any person who wishes to speak Spanish to learn its alphabet.
