Watch the video to revise how to pronounce the alphabet.
Pay attention to the following:
As the speakers are American, they spell the letter Z as / zi: / and not / zed / as the British do.
The second speaker, Gillian (28"), gives us a very practical way to memorise the alphabet. She recites the alphabet according to the vowel sound the letter has:
/i:/ B C D E G P T V (Z)
/e/ F L M N S X Z
/ai/ I Y
/əʊ/ O
/u:/ Q U W
/a:/ R
Some of the spekers show a tendency to spell their names in groups of three letters, pausing for a split second to let the listener figure out the word being spelt.

Real English also provides this video to test our ability to understand words/names being spelt.
