Listening activities

1) Listen to a man SPELLING WORDS.
Write the words on a separate sheet of paper and when you finish look at the answers.
Attention! Number 4 is two words. The man says "new word" (Es la expresión que utilizamos para indicar que pasamos a deletrear otra palabra)
En el email dice "period" para el punto, aunque, como ya sabemos no es lo correcto, sino que deberíamos decir "dot".
