On my "Behind the Wheel" Spanish learning cd, Mark Frobose, the creator of the series, requires Señor Santamaria, the native Spanish speaker, to say "se escribe" instead of "se deletrea". So this must be an alternative way to say "How do you spell your name?".

Señor Santamaria starts out using "se deletrea" but Mark Frobose makes him change it to "se escribe". Obviously more than one way to skin a cat, and , of course, even a native Spanish speaker doesn't get his way over the boss.

Oh, by the way, I highly recommend "Behind the Wheel Spanish" if you can find it anywhere. It's got a great little printed book with all the audio in it. I bought this 8 cd set, changed all the WMA files to MP3 and loaded it on my android devices - Esteban3304, Sep 29, 2012
