Bad news: You\u2019ve been unwittingly pronouncing\u00a0sherbet, bruschetta and probably a bunch of other words incorrectly\u00a0all your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we do recommend changing your ways if you still don\u2019t know how to say \u201cquinoa\u201d or \u201cespresso,\u201d we will warn you that you\u2019ll risk being labeled as a pretentious ass if you insist on saying some of the others in this list correctly. (Example: Saying \u201cNo, no, no! It\u2019s KWAH-sohn!\u201d when your date says her croissant is delicious will most likely hurt your chances of a second date.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pronounce the following words correctly or incorrectly at your own risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Update: After some helpful commenters pointed out that the “ay” sounds in the phonetic spellings of some of the Japanese words actually were supposed to sound more like “eh,” we adjusted the images. We appreciate the kind feedback!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Acai <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
