I hope you are all well and enjoying your Spanish studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today we are going to learn the Spanish alphabet, how to spell and how to ask someone how to spell something. I hope you find the class useful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alfabeto: Alphabet:<\/strong><br \/>\nA: a, B: be, C: ce, CH: che, D: de, E: e, F: efe, G: ge, H: hache, I: i, J: jota, K: ka, L: ele, LL: elle, M: eme, N: ene, \u00d1: e\u00f1e, O: o, P: pe, Q: cu, R: erre, S: ese, T: te, U: u, V: uve, W: uve doble, X: equis, Y: i griega, Z: zeta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you want to ask someone how to spell something, for example their name, you will say:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe\/deletrea tu nombre? How do you write\/spell your name? (informal)<br \/>\n\u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe\/deletrea su nombre? How do you write\/spell your name? (formal)<br \/>\n\u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe\/deletrea tu apellido? How do you write\/spell your surname? (informal)<br \/>\n\u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe\/deletrea su apellido? How do you write\/spell your name? (formal)<\/p>\n<p>You can use this type of question to ask how to spell any word. For example, if you don\u00b4t understand a word or sentence someone has just said, you could ask: \u201c\u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe?\u201d and the person will spell or write it down it for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, let\u00b4s practice now how to spell: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will give you an example. If someone asks me \u201c\u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe tu nombre?\u201d I will say: \u201cele \/ a \/ u \/ erre \/ a\u201d. Laura.<\/p>\n<p>If you have to spell something will double letters, you just say the letter and after \u201cdoble\u201d. For example \u201cPerro\u201d which means dog, is spelt \u201cpe \/ e \/ erre doble \/ o\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am now going to ask you to spell a few words and I would like you to practice with me:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. \u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe \u201cestudiante\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00bfC\u00f3mo se escribe \u201cespa\u00f1ol\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>3. \u00bfC\u00f3mo se deletrea \u201cWashington\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>4. \u00bfC\u00f3mo se deletrea \u201cArgentina\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is all for today about the alphabet and spelling. I recommend that you practice spelling your first name, surname, address and other words you already know. Spelling is very useful at beginner level when someone doesn\u00b4t understand a word you are saying or when you don\u00b4t understand what they are saying.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I hope you have a very nice day and look forward to seeing you next time in class.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1\u00a1Hasta pronto!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1\u00a1Hola!!
