The English Alphabet

English has twenty-six letters in the alphabet. There are five vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and twenty-one consonants. Every letter has a special name. When people ask for your name in English, you often need to spell it out loud letter by letter so they can write it down correctly.

How to Spell Your Name

When someone asks 'How do you spell your name?', you say each letter one by one. Listen carefully to the letter names. For example, the letter 'I' sounds like 'eye', and the letter 'Y' sounds like 'why'. Practice saying your name slowly.
