Writing and pronouncing a term is not always easy, especially for languages ??where words are spelled and read differently.
Babbel, a foreign language learning platform, partnered with an American subtitle company to look at words that news broadcasters had mispronounced throughout the year. Some of the words are:
Dalgona - the coffee that became famous during the quarantine. If you pronounced it as "dalgona" or "dalgonah", you are wrong. The correct pronunciation is tal-goh-nah.
Eilish - Billie who? For some, the singer's last name has been "eyelash". If you are not sure, it is said "ailish".
Omicron - the most talked about variant of the coronavirus at the moment. We wish we had not learned the Greek alphabet that way, but some have read it as "amukran" or "omikran". Just pronounce it as you read it, just replace c with k. So, omikron.
Shein - one of the most popular fast-fashion brands lately. If it's about people's name the correct word should be pronounced "Shain", but if you are referring to the brand, then the pronunciation should be "shi-in".
