English listening and spelling quiz - People's names

nglish listening and spelling quiz to test your understanding of names.

You will hear 20 names. I say each name once and then I spell it letter by letter. I give you the correct answer after each question.

I am speaking at normal speed in this listening quiz, exactly like a native English speaker. This is a very useful exercise because it's very important to be able to understand people's names and to spell them correctly.

Here are some other English listening tests:

As a non-native English speaker, this is the hardest part for me, so I really appreciate this video!!

[ghilmanfatih]

I still have to think about whether it's "a" "e" or "i"

[mariap.]

Let's all be honest. It was hard!
I've been a receptionist for more than a year and i had to take names on the fly. Like Andruskevich, Garasimowiecz, and many others. After all, I had Wright and Hughes wrong 🤭😵🤭 Thanks for all the fun 🥰❤️🙋

There are several sound that easy to misunderstand such as : " A and H ", " P and B " & " S and F " So, anyone like me?

18/20.
confusing:
A, E
P, B, T, D, G
W, UU (double u) but rare case only to have double u in spelling
Tips:
- first pay attention to the name so u'll have the idea what to spell (some might be familiar already)
- practice writing as fast as u can as u listen to the spellings.

This was exactly what I wanted to find. For IELTS listening. I had concerns about spelling names. And Christ Jesus the Son of God helped me! By you and your videos. Thank you again!

[carmencortes]

I used to had issues with spelling but I practiced more with your videos and finally I am getting better results: 14/20. I will keeping practicing often. Thanks Andrew!

[AlessandroDus]

Thank you Andrew.
I'm honest....only three right answers, but with more practice I'll improve my skills

[lisandromilesi]

At Mr Brown you spell "D"rown. I heard it 5 times.

[riclou]

I've got 6/20 when you said the names and 17/20 when you spelled them.
Thank you so much!

[maracuyapie]

I´ve got 19 out of 20. I confused the letter S with an F in no. 4. Well I just have to keep practicing. Thank you very much for the video!

[thaophung]

I just got 10 out of 20. I don't have difficulty with speed but I am confused between the letters c and t. it's absolutely challenging to hear them clearly.
Thank you for your helpful video. I hope that I can make more progress in the next tests

[andreyrodkin]

Thank's for excellent lesson ! You helped me in preporations by IELTS!

[iox]

I've got 16 answers right and four wrong. I found out that I've had a trouble to distinguish between the consonants "p" and "b" when you spell them. With the vowels, I need to be very concentrated. I still tend to write the Spanish sound. For example, the vowel sound of "E" /I/ in Spanish is /e/. I need more exercises of listening and spelling. Thank you very much for your work.

I just started my receptionist job and catching the names correctly is my most challenge as English is not my native language. I got 19 right out of 20 with your test but that because your pronunciation is so clear. I wish everyone spells their name with normal speed. I will keep practicing. Thank you, it was fun!

[juandavidgomezrestrepo]

The reason why I came to this video is I work as a retail assistant selling sunglasses, and I struggle with details capture, and let me tell you my customers spell their names at that speed or even faster so I believe the speed used on this video is right on point.

[sanvikasingh]

i did it for the first are correct out of 20.... thank alot for this practice will be helpful in ielts test

[rohit.rohitt]

Hello Mr. Andrew, Well I correct all except 11. You spell Reed and I wrote Raad.
Before writing, I thought, it must be Reed but made a mistake in Question 11.
Thanks for your Quiz.

[swjker]

"b" sounds like "d"
"h"? I'm confused 😀
I replayed a thousand time every word just to listen correctly the name.
