Exercise 1-19: Spelling and Numbers CD 1

Track 28

Just as there is stress in words or phrases, there is intonation 1 in spelling and numbers. Americans seem to spell things out much more than other people. In any bureaucratic 2 situation, you'll be asked to spell names and give all kinds of numbers—your phone number, your birth date, and so on. There is a distinct stress and rhythm pattern to both spelling and numbers—usually in groups of three or

four letters or numbers, with the stress falling on the last member of the group. Acronyms 4 (phrases that are represented by the first letter of each word) and initials are usually stressed on the last letter. Just listen to the words as I say them, then repeat the spelling after me.
