[habeascor]

"vehement" so like "vehemencia", many words in English are very similar to Spanish, but it's still too hard to pronounce English properly >_<

I'm feeling vehement love to her.

[judenihal]

hey hot attractive girl. this is how you should pronounce iraq: E Raac. Eye Rack is the wrong way of pronouncing Iraq.

[aqua1993]

is vehement french? just wondering since it ends with -ment and the "h" is silent

[baigandine]

Given that 35% of English vocabulary derives from French, I would not be surprised. Although it doesn't seem silent to the mind, because there's not normally a pause between vowels. From Middle French.

[borgcube111]

Iraq can be pronounced both ways "eye-rack" and "ear-rock" I don't need nobody to tell me !

[ScooterMcBean]

Okay, but that makes you an eye-diot.

sexy teacher .

[josephdabest]

lol thats how ur pronouce it be a mant

[rockzhang]

what a lovely teacher she is....

[ScooterMcBean]

Its not pronounced "eye-rack" like something you might find at your optometrist's office. Iraq is actually pronounced "ear-rock" even in "aye-mere-eye-kah". Sometimes the English language rules just don't apply to foreign words - especially when they're proper nouns.

[philosgal]

the correct pronunciation is E-RAAQ. Tha's how we Muslims pronounce it.

[ScooterMcBean]

Yes and this is also how my former coworker, a Christian Iraqi, pronounced it. Come to think about it, this is also how Barrak Obama pronounces Iraq. It's mostly the ignorant Americans who pronounce Iraq as "eye-rack".

[philosgal]

lols i don't think they are ignorant but they just say it that way. like so many arabs pronounce the letter P as B which is pretty hilarious for our american and british friends lols.

[ScooterMcBean]

Keep in mind that I didn't refer to Americans as ignorant. My intent was to say that the Americans who mispronounce Iraq are ignorant... let's not forget the old adage that wars are America's way of teaching geography to her citizens.

[philosgal]

i know you didn't mean it that way.

[baigandine]

Is it possible the Harvard Law educated president is not ignorant but pronouncing it that way as an aesthetic choice? Or to pander to the masses even?

[baigandine]

And since when do people pronounce foreign countries' names exactly as the foreigners do? Do you not call it SPAIN?

[ScooterMcBean]

If you mispronounced my name, I would correct you because names are proper nouns. We Canadians use the US pronunciation for French-named US cities (eg. Montpellier not "mon-peel-yay", or St. Lois not "san-loo-ee"), because these are proper names with defined pronunciations; so I'm not talking about regional accents. And Obama does use the correct pronunciation.

The point here is that this video is supposed to teach correct pronunciation.

[ScooterMcBean]

ps. I meant to write 'St. Louis' not 'St. Lois'... I've been watching too much Family Guy.

[VictorDanDan]

U R right !

[tiagostill]

I'd like have a teacher as u =]
