Ahahaha, I'm always looking for the correct writing or pronunciation of words in English (and to be honest, also my native Spanish language) because, yes, I make mistakes (*surprise*). I see many YouTubers and bloggers like me saying "I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly, I'm sorry" --Well, now we can all practice, LOL!!
I found this "free online talking dictionary" that helps with the correct English pronunciation of various words:
Here's the correct pronunciation of some department store brands like Guerlain and Givenchy, which are the two brands I found most difficult to pronounce:
Givenchy, Guerlain, Chanel, etc...(roll your mouse over the pink words)
I love saying Givenchy (zhee-vawn-she) heheehee.
PSSSTT...Yep, I posted this for fun and hey, I can assure you I will impress a few people when my perfect (well, almost) pronunciation. XD
¡Vivan, amen y rían!
This is neat and handy! I find French helps me pronounce the haute couture brands...but this will definitely help me with the ones I don't know!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I actually pronounced the GUE in Guerlain like goo-ehr-leh-inn, you know, following spanish pronunciation rules. And Givenchy is mostly pronounced here like hee-ven-chee. I'm glad I didn't said those words out loud in front of other people. Hahaha!!!!
