You are amazing. What language is next?

Jen – I bet you get a big kick out of learning all of the British English language variations. My friends from Australia (when we were in Croatia) were always using crazy words. It’s always hard not to giggle a little when I hear Nike said rhyming with bike.

I think all the efforts you are making are fantastic! The Nike thing made me laugh, as most British people pronounce it to rhyme with bike. You should hear a British English speaker pronounce “adidas” – not even close to what we’re used to! 🙂

it’s a great post! I totally understand what you mean and how hard it is to speak a foreign language in front of many native speakers, but it’s awesome that you’ve mad such a progress in such a short time and you even speak Spanish at work! the post kind of motivated me to get going to my next language, because it is one of the greatest and most useful things to do 🙂

Btw, I also pronounce Nike the European way and didn’t have a clue it’s actually kind of incorrect until a couple of years ago :)))
