English: "the alphabet" is German: "das Alphabet".
The German alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet with the addition of four German letters ä, ö, ü and ß.
First of all: every language/culture in the world has its own pronunciation of letters. When learning a new language, you should also learn and practice how to pronounce the letters of its alphabet. The German alphabet does contain the letter W. If you "think in English", it's true that it sounds like the V in the English language. But did you know, that the English W sounds almost like the letter U in the German alphabet? And the English V sounds like the W in German. The pronunciation of V and F is almost the same in German. The English pronunciation of the letter A sounds like E or Ä in German. The R is pronounced completely different. I hope you can see what I mean. My advice: when it comes to other languages, don't commit yourself to the basis of your own language and its pronunciations and grammar.
