This is fun! We could probably turn this into an epic slide! “How we Americanized foreign language names!”

Just for fun, here are some New England names from to try at home!

1) Worcester - A city in central Massachusetts.

2) Piscataqua - A river in Hew Hampshire

3) Mattawamkeag - A town in Maine

Wheeee!!!

Iowans who live in Madrid ("MAD-rid") and Tama ("TAY-muh") will look askance at those who pronounce them differently.

Maquoketa and Quasqueton residents are more forgiving of mispronunciations.

Hmmmmmm Worcester has a plethora of possible pronunciations... the other two are Native American jaw breakers! How terrific! I could make a stab, and the likelihood is that I would be laughed out of town! LOL!
