Not bad!

#118 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation

▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:
above
• every
• move
• oven
• over
• video
• visa
• vowel

What do these words have in common?

❗️ They all have a strong [v] sound, like the ‘в’ in Russian and unlike ‘v’ in Uzbek. For clarity in Cyrillic (not Russian pronunciation):
• above – эбоу, эбав
• every – эури, эври
• move – муу, мув
• oven – оуэн, авен
• over – оууер, оувер
• video – уидео, видиоу
• visa – уиза, виза
• vowel – уауэл, вауэл

What does this map show?
Well done!

💡 The map was about alcohol consumption. Eastern Europeans consume quite a bit more alcohol than Western Europeans while Muslim Turkey has the lowest consumption. Alcohol is made artificially expensive in Scandinavia through taxation, lessening people’s thirst for it. Meanwhile, Italy has a wine culture but ‘hard alcohol’ is not that common.
