In Christian theology, Moses did not see the face of Christ during his earthly life. According to the New Testament, Moses did have encounters with God, such as when he received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. However, the belief is that Moses did not see the full glory of Christ until the Transfiguration, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

If God spoke to Moses face to face Exodus 33v11 then why did Moses not die Exodus 33v20?

God spoke to Moses numerous times. The verse you were talking about was when God said to Moses no-one is allowed to see me, and the people that do see me will perish. So the answer to your question is because Moses was told he could. The whole Bible truth answer: If you study from the Bible, God usually sent messages to the people by an angel or a human being prophet. This was done for many reasons, the least of which not being, that God would have instantly evaporated or destroyed any to whom he physically appeared to in person by His Holiness and His glory. Also if you study closely Gods interaction with Moses, many times He spoke audibly to Moses from behind a cloud, which covers the glory of God. God spoke to Moses from this cloud covering as protection to Moses. Without the cloud, Moses would have been incinerated instantly by the glory of God. So, Moses experienced God in person, in that God directly talked to Moses from behind this cloud cover, and Moses talked to God, but Moses never "directly" viewed God "face to face", but he did speak to Him "face to face" as in, he spoke to God "in person", not through an intermediary like a prophet, or angel or such sort, but first hand. That is the meaning of Moses speaking "face to face' with God.

Can is see god with your naked eyes?

People have seen God in different forms: a comforting angel in the middle of the night or as a cloud during an indoor worship concert. But no one can actually see the glory of God without being blinded or dead. Moses saw His face, and even Moses' face was shining from His glory. You see Him work all throughout your life when you seek Him.
