For example, Holly = Hotel Oscar Lima Lima Yankee.

Why don't we make a Y4 phonetic alphabet. Maybe we can use our names, colours or foods?
A: Apple
B: Blue
C:
D:
E: Egg
F:
G: Grape
H:
I: Ice-cream
J:
K:
L: Leonie
M:
N:
O:
P:
Q:
R: Red
S:
T:
U:
V:
W:
X:
Y:
Z:
Then we can have fun and make up names for each other or our families.
Grape Apple Blue Red Ice-cream Egg Leonie Leonie Egg!

ReplyDeleteI've wanted to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet for a long time. Often I'm on the phone and say something like "My names's Mr Gregg," and they say, "How do you spell that?" and I say "That's G as in...." and all the things beginning with G go out of my mind.
I need to know straight away: "G as in golf" and all the rest! Maybe we should start learning it in class before we make our own one!
I'm going to practice this NATO phonetic alphabet.
