发帖数: 286 | 1 Hi, I usually have problem pronouncing people's names, especially their last
names; and some brand names are also hard to pronounce. I wonder if anyone
know some good website to check for these pronunciations? Thank you very
much! |

they won't be offended. in fact, they probably appreciate the fact that you'
re willing to learn their name.

For example, "levi's" -- I have never seen any TV commercial for Levi's, and
that's why I pronounced it incorrectly for a very long time :p

own, maybe you can try searching their pronunciations on google?

发帖数: 1 | 12 An important part of this exercise is to really know the "origin" of name.
Levi's in English is pronounced as LEE-VAI's but if it is Hebrew, it would
sound like Le-Vy.
Another example: last name "Roy" is pronounced "Roy" in English, but if it
is french, it would have to be pronounced as "WAH".
Take your time to learn and don't be afraid of asking.
