Ghastly! 16 Delightfully British Ways to Say 'Absolutely Awful' - The intrusive R - How do you say these Brand names?- A Small Mindset Shift: Replacing 'Sorry' with 'Thank You'

Here's the list: Shein - this one I've been saying wrong. I've always pronounced it as 'sheen' whereas the correct pronunciation is 'she-in' Nutella - another one I've been saying wrong. Apparently its not 'nuh-tella' its 'NEW-tella'. I've been turning that U into the schwa. Aldi - I generally say it as 'ALL-DEE' not the 'Al-Dee' its mean't to be. Ikea - I used to say 'eye-key-uh' until the TV adverts came out with the pronunciation guide of ' Ee-kay-uh' Nike - The correct pronunciation is 'Ni-Key' not rhyming with bike. I'm pretty sure I use both. Adidas - Say it as "Add-dee-dass" not 'er-dee-dus' Porsche - A lot of people pronounce this as 'porsh'. , but its two syllables : Por-shuh Primark - Apparently some people say this as PREE-mark. But the way I've always heard it said (which is the correct way) is PRY-mark. Adobe - not 'A-dobe' but 'Uh-doe-bee' Hua Wei - correct pronunciation is WAH-WAY not 'her-wah way' Want to get in touch ?
