Learn how to say 30+ foods that are hard to pronounce

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you didn’t order something at a restaurant because you were unsure how to pronounce the word? Maybe you purposely mumbled something and pointed at the menu? In this lesson, you will improve your pronunciation of foods that are difficult to pronounce. Many of the words that I will teach you come from other languages such as French, Greek, Italian, and Spanish. You will learn how to pronounce words like “Worcestershire sauce”, “tzatziki”, “taramasalata”, “tabbouleh”, “courgette”, “lychee”, “quiche”, “hors d’oeuvre”, “bruschetta”, and many more. You will also learn a little about the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This is a useful lesson for you if you enjoy eating out at restaurants or if you like to try cuisines from around the world. This lesson is also essential viewing for native speakers of English, as the foods in this list are commonly mispronounced! Watch, learn, and avoid embarrassment!

​@@ricardopperez nobody cares man. She even apologized if she got the wrong term. Give her a break.

[@aenima_78]

@@ja0010ga I think she only meant to teach how those words are pronounced by English native speakers. She didn't say that's how they're supposed to be pronounced in the country where they are from originally.

[@ricardopperez]

@@jaimegutier273 I care. What's the problem to correct when someone made a mistake? Of course for the colonizer eyes Latin American countries are the same shit.

The illustrative pictures are immensely helpful. I hope we get to see more of them in the coming videos! Also, celeriac is basically same thing as celery and I'm somewhat baffled by information that people in the UK don't know celery! It's a great vegetable for people who want to lose some weight, it's got very few calories, and you can do fantastic crisps from it in your oven.

Fun fact: Stracciatella is not only a sweet dessert (ice cream), but also a hearty (clear) soup with shreds of egg. That's where the name comes from for both... stracciare = ripping off 😉

Thank you teacher! Always a pleasure learn in your classes. If I may give you an help on pronunciation of Italian words, about “gnocchi” it’s easy if you think about the pronunciation of the English word:”gnome”… And your spell of “Stracciatella” was Very, Very good. I really appreciate your effort

What a nice class. Jade, I'd like to give you a suggestion about this interesting range of vocabulary food. What about trying to come up with a dialog in order to apply all of them. I believe that we (Ss) will be able to easily fix those new ones. Please, if it is possible to do. I'd appreciate that. Thanks a lot dear.

Tortillas in Mexico is flat bread made with corn flower. In Spain is an omelette or frittata with potatoes or something else inside, in Italy we call it frittata di patate o di cipolle (onions).

[@romanr5962]

Hey Jade! You're cool, like your style

[@electricdreams9446]

[@emiliovh437]

Tortillas are from México, for ten or fifteen years now they have been a little bit popular here in Spain but i thik are still a great unknown here.

[@alessiofavilli1998]

Hi, i'm Italian; talking about pronunciation of Italian food.... Gnocchi is perfect and Stracciatella as well; Tagliatelle, the last syllable is simply 'e' instead of 'ee' sound...in the IPA is 'e' not 'i', the other syllables are OK!!; Bruschetta is quite good but the 's' sound is simply 's' and not 'sc'...is something like 'basket' the 's' sound, the other syllables ore OK!!.... You have done it great anyway!!i know it's very difficult though....Congrats !! :) Bye

[@mynameistimur]

Fank you for the lethon Jade!

[@jeanne8784]

where did you learn english ? or are you toddler ?

[@labbd]

Edamame and ice cold beer is a perfect pairing for steamy weather in the Japanese summer.

[@electricdreams9446]

sounds fun

[@ram31299]

Great

[@gpascenso]

I'd say 'tae.ljate.lle' for tagliatelle. You pronounce the last 'e' as /i/, but, actually, it's another /e/ sound. Besides, the last /l/ sound is doubled.

[@aenima_78]

why 'tae'?!?

[@gpascenso]

@@aenima_78 Thank you for asking. Back then, I didn't know how to type the /æ/ IPA character on my keyboard. I guess that /a'/ would have been more appropriate.

[@aenima_78]

@@gpascenso yes, I think so! It should be taʎʎa'tɛlle/

[@magyarbondi]

bruschetta: ch in this instance is "k", it's brusketta (most people say "brushetta" like it was a German word where sch=sh)

[@ZemplinTemplar]

I read it with a "k". :-) Sounds Italian to me, so...

What about Czech cuisine and meals and their pronunciation in English?

[@CyReVolt]

In German, we have Wurstwasser. It tastes slightly different from Worcestershire sauce.

[@marioalbertojimenezsanjurj3183]

Hi Jade. Very good pronunciation with Méxican food. But let me tell you that the TORTILLA word comes from the náhuatl (An antique Mexican language) TLAXCALLI, like GUACAMOLE comes from the náhuatl AGUACATE (A fruit that grows up from México to Brasil). Greetings from México...👍

[@aitorpallardo]

Tortilla viene de la palabra Torta con la terminación de diminutivo -illa.

[@Margot4454]

sorry for being a pain in the neck but guacamole as Mexican food comes from North America (Mexico) or seeing the culture/geography aspect another way - from Latin America. Wikipedia even excludes Mexico from Central/Middle America, however, the Mexican nation is included in Latin America. North America (continent) consists of Canada, the USA and Mexico. I guess it is safer (proper) to call Mexican food "Mexican" than South American

[@SergioGonzalez-bw3qj]

ortilla is a totally different dish in Mexico or Spain: Maxican tortilla is a plain corn bread used to be eated by folding other ingredients (chicken, pepper, guacamole,... ). Spanish tortilla is grilled baked mix of potato, eggs and onions!.

[@OM-wb3zi]

Bellisima 😍

[@JiMo711]

did you cut your hair again or this's an old class! I loved your long hair!

[@jesusmariagarciaarejula9032]

Spanish tortillas are made with eggs, french style like (omelette). We say "French tortilla", that is only egg and salt or "Spanish tortilla", including fried potatoes and most commonly onions too. You can also have "Tuna tortilla", "Ham tortilla", "Cheese tortilla" but always, always beaten egg-based. Whereas Mexican tortillas are made with no eggs at all but with corn farine and they have to be stuffed, sort of, with other food elements such as beans or chicken "fajitas", guacamole, etc.

[@elvirazunigaporras4104]

Thank you very much for your pronunciation class, the only thing I would add is that Mexica food is not from South America, it is Central America, another topic to specify because, Panama is the first South American country. I enjoy it very much your lessons 👍🏽🌸🤗

Hi Jade! I did not come across your videos since 2016!! a long time ago. Your voice is so familiar and unique in away. Fantastic teacher by a mile. I learned a lot from you back in 2016. Why don't you put your Instagram contact if someone have an idea for a youtube project and how they can get in touch? Please add some contact details. Nice to hear you voice again..

[@aenima_78]

In 'bruschetta' you pronounce a 'sh' sound which isn't there, instead it's just an s.

[@giovanniamy6466]

You pronunce "caprese" in the English way. As an Italian, I would say "caprese", where the second "e" sounds exactly like the first "e". People make the same mistake with "grazie", saying something that to me sounds like "graz-ee".

[@petereggers7603]

Same with "taboulee"... which should sound more like taboulé.

[@electricdreams9446]

isnt this the english lesson?

[@john67ac]

Good for you!!! Jade...You might say tortillas, cebiche, etc, but your pronunciation of that is not the sound in spanish as well, but I can tell you that are another food from Argentina called empanadas, as well you can find pizzas, asado, tortelletis, tallarines, ñoquis as an italian heritage food...Ok??? Ok say you again...
