Spelling & dictation

Listening to names, emails, and short identity info being spelled out. The most common reason French speakers spell things at you: their own name with accents you don't catch the first time.

This skill assumes you've done Unit 0 Skill 04 (the alphabet itself). Here you put it to work in the situations where French speakers actually spell things at you — giving their name on the phone, dictating an email, repeating a tricky word. Type what you hear using the standard French keyboard letters. Don't worry about getting the accents perfectly the first time — close counts.
