Lesson 1: Alphabet & Spelling Names

The English Alphabet

The English alphabet consists of 26 letters. Each letter has both an uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) form. Learning these letters is the foundation of reading and writing in English.

Spelling Your Name

When you need to spell your name clearly, you say each letter individually. This is especially useful when:

Filling out forms
Speaking on the phone
Introducing yourself in formal situations
Making reservations

Example: Spelling a Name

Question: “Can you spell your name for me, please?”

Answer: “Yes, my name is Sarah. That’s S-A-R-A-H.”

Another example:

Question: “How do you spell your last name?”

Answer: “It’s Johnson, J-O-H-N-S-O-N.”

Remember to speak clearly and pause briefly between letters to ensure the listener understands each one correctly.
