From Guardian Angel
To Gaye Babacar
Come on, Babe!
Look up in a dictionary.
If you don't have one, head up to a library where you'll be enabled to read free.
The problem is that it's not possible here in this forum to type down the specific signs for pronunciation.
Be it as it may, and supposing that you know some words in everyday English, here are some clues to get how to say the letters.
a like in day, fade, cape, date
b like bee / as in to be or not to be
c like sea, see
d like in DEAr, in good DEEd (what I'm doing here)
e like in EAsy, Even, Evening
f like in EFfect, EFfort
g like gee, like in GEnius
h like this French writing: éitch
i like eye, like in I am Gaye Babacar
j like jay (the bird), like in JAIl,
k like in O.K.
l like el (Spanish article), like in ELder
m like in EMpty, Emperor
n like in ENd, ENvelope
o like in O.K.
p like the Greek letter pi (math. 3.1416)
q like a cue, like in CUte (what you probably are)
r like in you ARE
s like in EStimate, EScalate
t like in the five o'clock tea, like tee, in TEEnager
u like you, Babe.
v like in VEAl, to VEEr,
w is said like 'double you' (I imagine you have a double, a replica)
x like in EXpert, EXtra
y like why
z is pronounced [zi:] like in ZEro, ZEbrA (in US) or [zed]
Be careful at not mistaking g [dji:] with j [djei]
x is to be said [èks], not [iks]
Here on earth, you gracious angelic being, we don't mistake g FOR j.
