I'm sorry , I stood a time without "posting" here, but now I'm here again bringing for you a thing I learned when I studied at FIEC with the teacher Viviane Andrade, it's called "Phonetic Alphabet", you can must see it on a phone call, or in a movie, anyway, it's really useful in US, or in other countries.I hope you guys like it.
It's useful to spell some word, like we do here in Brazil, for example:
- Meu e-mail é, carmen@hownottolearnenglish.com.br
- Pode soletrar o inicio por favor ?
- C de Casa, A de Amor, R de Rato, M de Macaco, E de Elefante, N de Navio.
But in US, the use a kind of standard language to spell word, like the table below.
| Letter | phonetic letter |
|---|---|
| A | Alpha |
| B | Bravo |
| C | Charlie |
| D | Delta |
| E | Echo |
| F | Foxtrot |
| G | Golf |
| H | Hotel |
| I | India |
| J | Juliet |
| K | Kilo |
| L | Lima |
| M | Mike |
| N | November |
| O | Oscar |
| P | Papa |
| Q | Quebec |
| R | Romeo |
| S | Sierra |
| T | Tango |
| U | Uniform |
| V | Victor |
| W | Whiskey |
| X | X-ray |
| Y | Yankee |
| Z | Zulu |
Now you can do the same dialogue above, using the "Phonetic Alphabet".
- My e-mail adres is, carmen@hownottolearnenglish.com.br
- Can you spell it please ?
- C as in Charlie, A as in Alpha, R as in Romeo, M as in Mike, E as in Echo, N as in November.
