Worcestershire sauce = inogolo - Pronunciation of Worcestershire sauce : How to pronounce Worcestershire sauce

The sound file is really low volume for me so you might have to turn up your speakers.

And I agree with Rosie on the pronunciation of Australia - have the same problem with New Zealand, often ppl with American accents say it "Noo Zeelind" lol!

Oh and I always said "worchestershire" as wooster. I think that's right?

 

[pinksugar]

yeah I say wustersheer sauce, LOL

this thread is funny. I remember when I was little, I used to read the word anxiety in my head as ank-see-at-ee. I really had difficulty associating it with anx-i-et-ee. Sigh.

That's why in portguese we call that sauce "English sauce', LOL

A word I can't pronounce correctly is theater (or theatre, depending). I pronounce it thee-ate-er. It drives people mad, I know how to pronounce it, but I cant do it. My mom pronounces it that way as well.

 

[brewgrl]

here is my word (actually a place)- how the heck do you pronounce Ojai, California?

and Carafe???

is it care-aff or ker-aff or care-iff?

i feel stupid now.

 

[bella1342]

My friend actually lives in Ojai and I visted her before... and she said it's Oh-Hi.

In my restaurant we say ker-aff.

And worcestershire sauce. No clue.... I always wondered myself.

 

[brewgrl]

Thanks!!!! i NEVER say Ojai it out loud and now i am glad i don't (i would have said oh-gee)

I've just thought of one. You know that make up artist, Kevyn Aucoin?

I have heard his surname pronounced so many different ways, I've no idea of the correct pronounciation.

Is it... Oo-coin or ooo-shon?

 

[Lia]

O-kwan - it's french, so the Au sounds like 'O' and the coin like kwan (maybe magosienne can explain it better)

 

[pinksugar]

haha, I would have called it ow-koin

 

[Lia]

It happens

 

[jakk-attakk]

What about Hayden Panettiere? is it pan-et-eer (which i've always said?) or pan-ett-ee-err?

my dad says sangwhich. it drives me up the wall.

he also says lobby like law-bee (which is right) but me and my mum always say it like low-bee.

and he says oven like aww-ven when we say it uh-ven.

oh and my sisters boyfriend says Caribbean like Cah-RIBB-ee-en. i hate that. its car-i-BEE-an the emphasis on the bee not the ribb

thought of two more.

beau and vehemently.
