I love the audio help offered by the SFoodie blog, Don’t Sound Like a Tool. Order bruschetta (brew-SKETTA) with confidence and your gyro (YEAR-oh) like a native.
Other posts will teach you to pronounce “semi-arcane” spirits such as Patxaran (PAH-cher-ahn), Korean and Filipino dishes, Italian wines, French cheeses and exotic cookware.
