Foreigner tries to pronounces 10 hardest British places

Рет қаралды 41,225

Күн бұрын

This week I try pronouncing the 10 hardest British places as a foreigner. You knew this was going to be embarrassing and it was. But really - how else are you supposed to say Woolfardisworthy??
As a Canadian, we have very few places that are difficult to say or pronounce - we even have a London! Of course! But I tried to pronounce the most difficult UK places either way.

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

Being an English ex-pat, I know pronunciation is a hard one to learn. when I came to Canada the lady at Walmart told me I needed to learn better English my jaw just dropped

Lots of places have Viking or Anglo Saxon names. When the Normans invaded they couldn't pronounce them so they said it their way. When they named towns themselves (like Beaulieu) the locals couldn't pronounce it so they said it their way. Honestly, unless you're local, you never really know.

@@Tom_KZfaq_stole_my_handle theres a similar sign on top of Ben Nevis, as per this one on Snowdon, Y Wyddfa...the reason they take longer than in your compost is that the altitude at the top of the mountain gives colder temps(more often frozen in winter too)and means the banana skins survive for much longer than in a warm compost bin nearer sea level..Y Wyddfa is higher than any mountain in England too:) Anyway, you shouldn't drop rubbish whatever it is, take back what you took out....

"frowm" like "crown" "ohm" like om Frome would be Froom, or "frum" if English is a second language.

More like Früm. It's pronounced like the long way of room with a f in front

2/10, man i nailed that one. From personal experience the people of Salford get really pissy when it's pronounced Salford and not Salford.

I was already laughing before you said, "Please don't laugh at me." :-D Godmanchester is pronounced 'Gumster'. Google is wrong.

Surely it is Huntington, if you are not sure what to say.

Lived in St Ives most of my life. Never heard it pronounced Gumster. Everybody I know, including the people who live there, pronounce 'godmun-chester'

@@BenjWarrant I bow to your superior local knowledge. I've just checked and Wikipedia (which is obviously the source of all truth) has 'Gumster' as a traditional (and mostly obsolete) pronunciation. I apologize for the confusion, as if the confusion that already exists in the spelling of place-names wasn't enough.
