Are these cities pronounced very differently in your native language(s)?
🙏🙏🙏 your English and you are beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
(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..."?
Yes absolitely different in Turkish.
Are you German?
In Spanish, you know the pronuntiations. Very well pronounced. Kind regards.
Thanks a lot, Max! Time with you is, as ever, educative! 👏👏👏

Thanks soooooooo much Max ❤️ 😘 😊
My pleasure, Anna!
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.
Great video! I'd like to do a version for my channel in Portuguese and give you the credit. Would you be okay with that?
Yes, sure! Thank you!
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.
I love you Max!
I've always heard/pronounced British cities ending in "ham" with a hard h so ham rather than um.
TQSM🥰🥰😀
Thanks for video. The pronunciation of Helsinki is almost same in Finnish language too.
Kind Regards Markku from Finland.
Cool!
I've heard that Finnish is quite difficult for foreigners to learn...
No it’s not difficult. Quite nice youtube teatcher ”KatChats Finnish” gives a taste of Finnish easily. Her English is strong too 👍🏼🇫🇮.
Very nice mam
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 wish you had been my teacher of English when I was at school.
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..
Congrat. You pronounce so well in French the "on" of Londres. ;)
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 👍
👍👍
And thank you for watching!
@@EnglishwithMax thank you many difficult pronounciation i got from you , and i want to learn more from you
Your way looks pretty 😚
I love you teacher
Yee... 6 o'clock in the morning, new video... 😂
😀
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
good
Nice, you do video once a month
I'm trying to! :)
Ma'am What is the difference between find out know and Realize? Please
Do you video once a month?
Helsinki stresses the first syllable, like any other place in Finland.
I often hear "Luxembourg" with a voiced "x", like in "exam". Is this pronunciation considered correct?
I've never heard it pronounced that way...
Please what is the difference between these words?
Garden
Yard
3:07 i thought its pronounced as mar seal
Is that just me orr 😬
Good evening madam I am India could you please explain what is the difference between clothes and dress please
You forgot “Madchester” for Manchester….as they called it in the 90s!
Mam mujhe english nahi aata mai kya karu kese siku kuchh kariye
👍👍👍👍👍
Mam online phadhati hai
💚💚💚
Im surprised u know many languages. What a brilliant and cute girl u are
I most likely pronounce any Welsh name, they should anglicize those ;) and don't forget to anglicize Polish Szczebrzeszyn?
I llike the little twinkle you have in your eyes!
You don't say Napoli about naples but here is the correct pronunciation in Italy, NAPOLI is my city :)
Do You know why you could say that Ireland is the most prosperous country in the world?
Because Its capital is always Dublin.
😅
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!

My city is called: Felsőtárkány
Try to pronounce it. :-))
Fel'shyotarkan'
😘😘😘
Funny that the American pronunciations of Scottish cities are actually closer to the Scots English than the British English!
Please help
Of course, Paris is a Greek name. Perhaps the French mispronounce it?
The title of your video should read wrongly, not just wrong!
"Wrong" is also an adverb.
... wrongly.
