Imagine living in a country where spelling bees cannot exist
I'm there. I asked how to pronounce a word from a newspaper once, and was told,"like it's written...?"
I know spelling bees from US media. We had read aloud competitions, that's the closest thing I know from real life
Nah, English classes have plenty of them.
