The differences in pronunciation root from our language. Each language is distinct. The tone, stress, intonation, and accents vary between each regions. How words are pronounced in China differs from how words are pronounced in the United Kingdom. So, when we are visiting a foreign place, it is inevitable to mispronounce some places.

But don't fret! Thrillophilia created a list of the most commonly mispronounced places, and how to pronounce them properly. Check the photos below:...
