Do you have trouble pronouncing people’s names in English or does your friend have that problem?
Today find out how to correct them without making them feel bad in English.
Here are some phrases you could use:
- “His name is hard to pronounce…”
- “Oh the pronunciation is kind of hard…”
- “My mom made that mistake too.”
- “Actually the way you pronounce it is….”
- “The pronunciation is actually ____”
If your friends are making pronunciation mistakes then don’t be afraid to correct them!
