How do you spell in french?

"Spell" in French can be translated in two different ways, depending on the context:

1. "To spell" as in "to say the letters of a word"

* épeler (pronounced eh-peh-lay)

2. "To spell" as in "to cast a spell"

* ensorceler (pronounced on-sor-se-lay)

So, if you want to say "How do you spell this word?", you would say: "Comment épèle-t-on ce mot?"

If you want to say "The witch cast a spell", you would say: "La sorcière a ensorcelé."
