Pronunciation tip: Canadian provinces, territories, and cities

Posted on November 12, 2023 | 1 comment

I made another pronunciation tip video, but this one is a bit different. Usually I’m doing tips for English speakers on how to say names from other languages. This time I’m doing place names that are in English (one variety thereof, anyway) but may not be familiar to English speakers from other places. If this one goes over well, I may do a sequel… I’ve already thought of some names that I missed that non-Canadians often get wrong!

Pronunciation tip: Canada’s provinces, territories, and main cities

July 1 is Canada Day, and so in honour of that, I’ve done a video about the names of all the provinces and territories and their capitals and largest cities. If you’re not Canadian and intend to talk about Canada, you will probably find this useful. If you are Canadian and know how to say all these names, you may still find this useful because I say where all the names are from. I bet you don’t know! Hint: It’s mostly rivers, lakes, and Queen Victoria’s family.
