That's correct! French and Spanish both use the same basic 26 letters from the Latin alphabet, but they have different pronunciations and uses for some of those letters. Both languages also use accent marks, which can change the sound or meaning of a word. It's interesting to note that French and Spanish each have two accent marks in common: the acute accent (ยด) and the grave accent (`). These accent marks may be used on different letters and have different effects in each language.
