With so many international reporters and editors,\u00a0TV producers and\u00a0radio show hosts, it’s more important than ever\u00a0that you pronounce their names correctly, particularly if you are appearing on their shows or pitching them by phone.<\/p>\n
Ditto for potential clients and bosses, or for audience members who you call on from the platform if you’re a speaker or trainer.<\/p>\n
HowtoSayThatName.com\u00a0is the perfect place to learn.\u00a0First, choose the correct language or nationality from the left side of the screen. Then type in the name you don’t know how to pronounce\u00a0and click on the audio button.\u00a0You’ll hear a native speaker pronouncing the name.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aside from the more common languages like French, Italian and Chinese, you’ll find more obscure languages, too, like Xhosa, Kikuya, Mandinka, Maasai and\u00a0Wolof. Want to learn the correct pronunciation but not sure of the language you should choose? Type in the name anyway.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
