Learn how to say 30+ foods that are hard to pronounce

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you didn’t order something at a restaurant because you were unsure how to pronounce the word? Maybe you purposely mumbled something and pointed at the menu? In this lesson, you will improve your pronunciation of foods that are difficult to pronounce. Many of the words that I will teach you come from other languages such as French, Greek, Italian, and Spanish. You will learn how to pronounce words like Worcestershire sauce, tzatziki, taramasalata, tabbouleh, courgette, lychee, quiche, hors d’oeuvre, bruschetta, and many more. You will also learn a little about the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This is a useful lesson for you if you enjoy eating out at restaurants or if you like to try cuisines from around the world. This lesson is also essential viewing for native speakers of English, as the foods in this list are commonly mispronounced! Watch, learn, and avoid embarrassment!

In southern Italy your pronunciation of the word “bruschetta” would be simply perfect.
As for “tagliatelle”…..it sounds a bit strange, but I hope it tastes good anyway.

Thanks a lot

I know some of these dishes, gastronomy is a very interesting thing to know about it to take care of health.
I didn’t get a good score on the quiz but whenever I check the IPA, I think I improve my pronunciation.
Anyway, thanks for the lesson.

As far as I know, mainly, there are two types of tortillas: one is made with flour and the other with eggs. Egg omelets are quite appreciated in Europe, often all kinds of vegetables are added such as potatoes, peppers, zucchini or onion, they are delicious. Tortillas with cheese, tuna or “ham” are also common.
On the other hand, flour tortillas are made all over the world and in many different ways, we may not have enough life to taste them all.
