SPELLING BEE
.to give somebody the advantage
..sometimes dishonest way
Hi, friends!
I’m sure you would have heard about “Spelling Bee”, a competition in which people have to spell the word after listening to its pronunciation and definition. This is an improvised version of the game that I created especially for those who seriously want to improve their pronunciation.
Okay! First, read the twenty-six phonetic transcriptions and catch what the pronunciations are!
3. Wait for another person to post his answer before you go for the next word.
It’s as simple as that! Have fun!

Hi, my dear friends! Hi, Gabriel!
I think it's a great challenge to record the pronunciation of all 26 words! It's an excellent way to practise spoken English, besides the pronunciation of the given words is rather tricky as the written words and their transcriptions are completely different!
Okay, this is my voice recording:
Dear friends,
Once again I would like to thank you for coming up with the correct written words of the pronunciations. Now it’s my turn! Yes! I’ve recorded all the 26 pronunciations in the order as they are listed in the blog. I’d appreciate it if you could record your voice too. Thank you!
