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.

[habeascor]

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

someday... someday...

quit smiling so much it's creeping me out!!

[ScooterMcBean]

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

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.

[baigandine]

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

[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.

[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?

[CiudaMundo]

Yes, that was before, now I know thanks......

[BwSeven]

Think you're using it wrong...

[skferdinand]

I love Chinese people.
