I want to know how native English speakers spell the words? When I come up with some 'big words', they are hard to be spelled out. As a second-language speaker in English, I have a myth that I should obtain the ability to spell the words by letters. For example, 'doctrine' is 'd-o-c-t-r-i-n-e', or 'jeopardize' is 'j-e-o-p-a-r-d-i-z-e'. But I find it so hard to practice and very low-efficient. So I wonder if native speakers are taught to remember the long words in different way, like 'doctrine' is 'doc-trine' and 'jeopardize' is 'jeo-par'dize'. Because in China, teachers normally don't teach that way, students are requested to write many time of the words to remember them. But this method won't suit the high-level students, because we want to obtain a larger amount of new words through reading. Also I want to know how you can remember so many long words since there are so many of them, do you read them in articles or news or movies?
