English Phonetic Spelling
Sometimes wrongly called the
International Phonetic Alphabet
When speaking on the telephone, it is sometimes
useful to spell a word using English Phonetic Spelling. To spell
"Club", for example, you would say: "C for Charlie, L for Lima,
U for Uniform, B for Bravo."
It is very easy to learn English Phonetic Spelling. Start
by spelling your name, then your company or address. Soon, you
will know the whole alphabet. It also helps to remember that
there are several groups of words that go together:
- Dances:
Foxtrot, Tango
- Shakespeare:
Romeo & Juliet
- Men's first names:
Charlie, Mike, Oscar, Victor
- Cities:
Lima, Quebec
