it goes like this. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. For N, it sounds something like 'end'.

The providing u with the phonetic alphabet r right on.

If you're four months into flying lessons, & assuming u r training in the US, u should have been introduced to the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) by now. It is usually published in the same book as the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), which u should also have been exposed to. If not, u might want to pick up a copy & start thumbing through it. Just skip past the instrument procedure sections for now & focus on things like traffic patterns & safety of flight. If u already have a copy, look at Chapter 4, Section 2. All of the radio phraseology & phonetic alphabet information is there.

If u do not have a copy & u want to start browsing, look here: http://faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/publications/ATpubs/AIM/

Oh man you should really know that lol. You should go to ground school where they teach this and many other things you need to know in flight school. They letters are part of the Phonetic Alphabet and they are used so ATC can identify who you are when you are in flight. l see answerers above have answered what they stand for.
