How To Pronounce Countries In English

Learn how to pronounce countries in English… every country! Here is a list of world countries, along with an audio recording I put together of the American English pronunciation of each country. Every language in the world adapts the name of other countries to fit the phonetics of that language. English is no different. While you may know how to pronounce all these countries’ names in your own language, the pronunciations could be different in English. Read along and repeat after me as I pronounce these countries’ names for you.

I have also linked to the Wikipedia page for each country if you want to learn more about any of the countries.
