Can YOU pronounce these difficult words in English? - Lisbon 🇵🇹

Can YOU pronounce these difficult words in English? - Lisbon 🇵🇹
This was my first time making a video where i asked people questions on the street, so you may see that i was a bit nervous. However, it was SO much fun, I can't wait to do it again!
The pronunciation challenge was really interesting, and it is pretty clear that people living in Portugal have an incredibly high level of English.
Difficult words to pronounce included:
1. Worcestershire
2. Comfortable
3. Vegetable
4. Rural
5. Squirrel
6. Wednesday
If you want me to come to your city and interview people, leave a comment below!

I love the fact that in Portugal they don't dub movies... In Brazil, I found difficult sometimes to watch it in English at the movies 'cuz they are mostly dubbed. 🙄🇧🇷❤

The english in Portugal is taught much more than in Brazil. Here we start learning english at 5/6 years old but until we've finished school we are not even close to fluent in english. Most people have to take english classes on courses and/or watch movies in english. I have been really good at english lately specialy compared to the people around me, like my parents and friends. I think it's pretty nice that Portugal has a lot more studying and using of the english.

I’ve learned French since I was 4 (as a brit) and barely know anything (I learnt it for 10 years before quitting) and neither does anyone else I know who went through the same education as me - I think the main issue is that we don’t get exposed to any French media since most things are already in English, so nothing we get taught in class ever stuck - the opposite as seen here in Portugal where they were taught English from the same age we were taught French, but they were just much more exposed to it so know it well!
