Pronouncing geographical names correctly
It goes without saying that within the framework of this article we will not be able to list the names of all geographical objects in English, however, let's try to find out at least those geographical names that are most likely to be encountered.
It is a well-known fact that names are not usually translated from one language to another, be it the name of a city, mountain, etc. However, over time, many geographical names have undergone some changes, if not in the graphic structure, then certainly in the phonetic one . For example, many, reading the name of the country “Canada” in English, pronounce it the same way as in Russian, not realizing how incomprehensible this word will sound to an English speaker, because the correct way to say it is [ˈkænədə].

Africa [ˈæfrɪkə]- Africa
Australia [ɒˈstreɪliːə] - Australia
Antarctica [ˌænˈtɑːktɪkə]- Antarctica
Eurasia- Eurasia
North America - North America
South America - South America
10 largest countries by area:
Russia [ˈrʌʃə] - Russia
Canada [ˈkænədə] - Canada
