How do you pronounce -
 
CURACAO? I am planning a trip there and don't know how to pronounce it - help??

At the risk of being corrected and/or wrong, I think it's pronounced <BR>kerr-a-sow. I know that's probably not technically correct, but I think it's close! I'm jealous, have fun!

Hopefully this will help you out..<BR><BR>It is pronounced Cure-a-sew.

Cure ah sow (sow pronounced like the pig!)

Cecile is correct - it's cure-a-sow

When I worked there, the natives pronounced it<BR>coor-a-sow (the pig kind of sow)
