At some point in your English learning journey, you realize that most brands are NOT pronounced the way you say them in your native language.
So, saying them in English might feel weird, strange or even wrong! Don’t worry, this is normal :)
However, as you get closer to the English language, as it becomes a bigger part of your everyday life, as your fluency improves… these “strange” pronunciations will feel easy, good, and right!
Remember, it’s a journey :)
Anyhow, what brand sounds strange when you say it in English?? Tell us in the comments! ☺️
Here are some more you can try:
1. Mercedes 👉🏼 mer-say-deez
2. IKEA 👉🏼 ai-kee-uh
3. Netflix 👉🏼 net-fliks
4. Facebook 👉🏼 feys-bʊk
