Pronouncing Names: Businesses & People
Start pronouncing names correctly!
Do you know the difference in pronunciation between "Carol" and "Carl"? How about "Abe" and "Abby"? Which names are male and which are female?
Do you know how to pronounce Silicon Valley technology companies such as Nvidia, Yahoo, Intel, or Xilinx?
In this Meetup, we'll be practicing the correct pronunciation of names. Bring a list of names that you have difficulty pronouncing, and we'll help you out!
This Meetup is FREE! (You can also stay after for our English Club from 7-8:30 PM for free.)
