Today--

Before I call it a day, I found out and some I confirmed from one of the websites how the following German words, brands etc. are pronounced (one reason why I love learning Italian more than the German language:

Porsche-- PORSH-uh. not PORSH.

Renault-- RAY-noh. I thought it was reh-NOLT

Deutsche-- as in Deutsche Bank is DOYTSH-e, not DOYTSH as I thought it was. It's building here in The Fort is seen from my window so I guess, I'll remember that forever.

Adidas-- AH-dee-dass, with an emphasis on the first syllable, not second. (i knew it)

Dr. Seuss-- of the famous The Grinch and Cat in the Hat collection, is actually SOYCE, not sews.


...will tell mom,
to start pronouncing VOUCHER as VOW-cher, not VOO-cher.

aja!
