Pronunciation of a couple of international cities...
Hi everyone. I am moderating a large panel session at a travel industry event tomorrow.
While I am highly confident in my skill set (travel automation) I am not so sure of my ability to pronounce some of the cities listed in the panelist bios.
Xian and Biarritz.
Can someone spell out the correct pronunciation phonetically.
I looked in the dictionary but I must admit I do not understand all the symbols and such.
I am looking for something like this:
Mexia (Texas) = Muh-hay-ya
If anyone has other cities that are often mispronounced, please feel free to add!
