@@marydavis5234 tbh, I have to agreed with Miriam. Having lived in Germany all my live, I've yet to hear a single German person pronounce it a-DEE-das and not A(H)-dee-das (some people stress the first syllable more than others, though, but that Adi comes from the first name Adolf and the same stress/no stress on the first syllable happens there) unless it's an English conversation and someone just goes along with it. If they speak about that company in the news, it's never a-DEE-das. Now, that doesn't mean that I don't believe that your aunt says it like that but it really isn't a thing Germans commonly say (in my experience).

@@siene1518 On the other hand, the acronym GIF comes from Graphics Interchange Format, thus with a hard G. However the creator of the image format has said the acronym should be pronounced "JIF", i.e. with a soft J sound. Thus the owners of Adidas most likely are the ones to determine how to pronounce the brand name, regardless of how it was constructed. (Here in Sweden we also tend to say a-DEE-das, not A-dee-das nor a-dee-DAS).
@siene15182 жыл бұрын
@@anderszapac And I accept that JIF is the correct way, even though from my own understanding, I'd be more inclined towards GIF. Then again, I've never had to use JIF/GIF in spoken conversation, so I don't really mind being wrong. Anyway, just to make sure, I've checked several videos (opening of a flagship store in Berlin, skipped through a couple of interviews with adidas managers/CEOs, watched commercials published by adidas,etc) and found that all official German adidas sources pronounce it AH-dee-das or rather a(h)-dee-das since the a(h) usually is only slightly stressed. This follows the German rules of pronunciation and makes sense with the origin of the brand's name. I'd be surprised if the founder used a completely uncommon way of pronouncing it when his name is a fairly standard German name and I've found no indication that his name was pronounced differently than the standard way of we'd pronounce Adolf "Adi" Dassler. Unfortunately, I couldn't find original audio of Adi Dassler saying adidas but the current and former CEO both say a(h)-dee-das. When asked "Americans pronounce the brand name as ah-Dee-das. How do you feel about it?", the former CEO of adidas answered "I don't mind as long as they buy our shoes", implying that it's not the correct way but who cares. And that's basically what it is - not a big deal either way. I usually wouldn't even have been as invested in this to actually do that amount of research but after your comment, I was curious. But yeah, from a German POV, nothing indicates that the pronunciation should be anything other than AH-dee-das / ah-dee-das. Btw., I also never heard a-dee-DAS but at least that would make more sense than a-DEE-das because if you said the entire name of the founder, you'd say "a-dolf DASS-ler". I don't think that any German who had never heard the pronounciation of adidas would go for ah-dee-DAS but at least I get where it's coming from.

Hi, here are some tips that's worked for me. You can watch movies and tv shows in English with subtitles also in English, so that way you'll practice your listening skills until you get to the point where you won't need the subtitles anymore and you'll also be learning a lot of words. About the pronunciation, you can start making daily short videos, that's 2 to 3 minutes, speaking in English. You can talk about anything in these videos and you don't really need to plan or make a script to do it, just pick up your phone randomly anytime of the day and start recording you speaking in English. Try to do one video per day at different parts of the day (morning, midday, midnight, afternoon etc) and talk about different topics, like what you did that day or what you're planning to do etc. By doing that, you'll practice the most used grammar tenses in English (present, past and future) and also improve your pronunciation skills. To practice your writing skills you can write or reply to comments on youtube videos or any other social media you use. You can also write a blog or write down short paragraphs everyday, for example, talking about your day. The last thing you can do (that's what I'm doing right now) is to focus on reducing your accent and sound more native. This tip is optional but if you want do that just choose an English accent you like and start imitating it. Try to find patterns in the word's pronunciation and intonation, tips to sound more natural with that accent and watch videos from people who speak with that accent you chose. I've been doing that for a long time and my English is very good by now, I can understand movies and tv shows without subtitles and I can also speak clearly and naturally. I hope this helps you, good luck.
