50 City Names You Pronounce Wrong! | (How to say European cities in English)
How to pronounce 50 European city names in British and American English. Many people mispronounce the names of cities and other places when they speak English. It makes sense because place names often don't follow typical pronunciation rules and they often aren't of English origin. Plus it's not always clear how to anglicise foreign names.

1. Lisbon

(good idea this fast (normal) english parenthesis in black and white even if the reason here wasn't really educational :) ) In french when it's differently written and/or when pronouciation is very different: Edinburgh is Édimbourg [edɛ̃buʁ] Brussels is Bruxelles BUT the "x" must (or should) be pronounced as "ss" (the last s is not prnounced as usual in french) Geneva is Genève [ʒənɛv] Venice is Venise [vəniz] Copenhagen is Copenhague [ Warsaw is Varsovie [vaʁ.sɔ.vi] Cracow is Cracovie [kʁa.kɔ.vi] Kyiv is Kiev [kjɛf] or [kjɛv] Moscow is Moscou [mɔsku] 😊😊 the english pronounciation of Naples is very troubling 😊 Hamburg isn't it where Kennedy said "i am a..."?

The first video I'm watching today early. It's a pronouciation lesson from teacher Max. Pleasure to hear her again. Hope that she'll give me the the correct pronounciation of the capital city in english of my country Algeria.
Do you video once a month?
Very nice mam
I've always heard/pronounced British cities ending in "ham" with a hard h so ham rather than um.
TQSM🥰🥰😀
Congrat. You pronounce so well in French the "on" of Londres. ;)
Ma'am What is the difference between find out know and Realize? Please
I love you Max!
I wish you had been my teacher of English when I was at school.

Many people cannot pronounce names like:. Sarajevo, Skopje, Warsaw, Hvar, Podgorica. By the way I love so much the Aussie accent, and British accent. Greetings from Argentina

Unless you learn another language, it can be difficult. Even then, learning French doesn't really prepare one for understanding that the letter J is most commonly very like Y or I. And then there's Spanish, and I guess Portuguese. I wonder about our pronunciation of Trojan. Can you really distinguish between Australian and English accents? A lot of poms can't.
I often hear "Luxembourg" with a voiced "x", like in "exam". Is this pronunciation considered correct?

ENG: Thank you for sharing Max. I recommend a correction. The name "Turkey" has been officially changed to "Turkiye". TR: Paylaşımınız için teşekkür ediyorum Max. Bir düzeltme öneriyorum "Turkey" ismi resmi olarak "Turkiye" olarak değiştirilmiştir.

Hey Max, I'm from Birmingham, Alabama, and we actually do pronounce the 'H' here. However, I am aware that the Birmingham in England does not have its H pronounced. I would imagine many Americans who are used to hearing/saying the name of the US city might miss pronounce the English city by including the H.

I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing. That reminds of something similar in Australia. There is a town called Exmouth in the UK and in Australia. In the UK the "ou" is a schwa ("Ex-mehth"), but in Australia the "mouth" is pronounced like the part of the face :D ("Ex-mowth"). And you don't want to know what we've done to some French names 🤣 . E.g. Sans Souci -> San Suzy

Helsinki stresses the first syllable, like any other place in Finland.
Yes, every country have different pronunciation style. " Ex: they, the, thy,..etc. " but, very good information we got from you. " Acctually we are from India ☺️. " So we have some specific style to pronounce words 😘. Thnx 👍

Hello Max! Thank you very much for your video and for Kyiv. You pronounce it like a native Ukrainian speaker. It is very pleasant for us to hear not "Kiev", but "Kyiv".

It's much in the news recently. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has reporters "on the ground," so of course they get it right, and it's even been explained that Kiev is Russian..

Hello Maximа! You are a very beautiful woman and a wonderful teacher. I respect your lessons, they are very useful! Your manner of speaking English and plus the expression of your face causes a unique pleasant feeling. That's exactly what sets you apart from other English teachers. Stay like this always! Oruj from Moscow.
Funny that the American pronunciations of Scottish cities are actually closer to the Scots English than the British English!

"Wrong" is also an adverb.
Of course, Paris is a Greek name. Perhaps the French mispronounce it?
