pro-nun-see-AY-shun

whilst living in the beautiful city of Milano,
i have come to realize that my american accent is a disgrace,
especially in the fashion district of Montenapoleone
(which, by the way, is way too many syllables for one word)

so here are some brand names i have been told i pronounce
"like a stupid american"


Moschino

once though to be "mo-SHEE-no"
is actually
"mo-SKI-no"

Ermenegildo Zegna
making beautiful men even more beautiful since 1910...
yeah i didn't even try this one
i usually stop at "erm..."

pronounced
"air *roll the R* -mene-jill-dow   tzEG-nuh"

that may have actually made it more difficult.



ps - CHANEL is the same in any language.
