When meeting someone new, one of the first things we often ask is their name. In Spanish, you would ask "¿Cómo te llamas?" which translates to "What is your name?" It's a simple and polite way to start a conversation and get to know the other person.

Once you know the person's name, you might want to know how to spell it. In Spanish, you would ask "¿Cómo se escribe tu nombre?" which translates to "How do you spell your name?" This is helpful when writing down someone's name or if their name is unusual and you want to make sure you get it right.

In the listening exercise, the student is asked to listen and write down the names of the individuals being introduced. This helps with practicing both listening skills and spelling skills in Spanish.

So next time you meet someone new and want to ask for their name in Spanish, remember to say "¿Cómo te llamas?" And if you need to know how to spell it, just ask "¿Cómo se escribe tu nombre?"
