THE ALPHABET

The English alphabet is one of the first things that both kids and adults are taught when they start learning English. However, students in general find it difficult to spell properly and they tend to mix up certain letters, such as A, E and I or G and J, or they just mispronounce some others like R, W and Y.

Both British and American people say the letters in the same way, except for Z, which is pronounce with /e/ like in egg in British English, and /i:/ like in tree in American English.

It’s really important to be able to spell properly in English since, as you probably know, there are several spellings that are pronounced with the same sound, and also, there are different sounds that correspond to the same spelling.

Native speakers usually spell their names and also names of places, and they do that much more often than we do it in Spanish. It is therefore highly recommended to get good practice in this tricky matter.

Here you are some interesting links, where you can listen to the sounds of the English alphabet and also do some exercises.
