Pronounce 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 it is not customary to translate names from one language to another, be it the name of a city, a mountain, etc. However, over time, many geographical names have undergone some changes, if not in the graphic structure, then certainly in the phonetic . For example, many, when reading the name of the country “Canada” in English, pronounce it the same way as in Russian, not understanding how incomprehensible this word will sound for an English speaker, because it is necessary to say correctly - [ˈkænədə]. Names of continents, countries, cities and oceans in English Continent names:

Africa [ˈæfrɪkə]- Africa
Australia [ɒˈstreɪliːə] - Australia
Antarctica [ˌænˈtɑːktɪkə]- Antarctica
Eurasia- Eurasia
North America- North America
South America- South America

10 largest countries by area:

Russian [ˈrʌʃə] - Russia
Canada [ˈkænədə] - Canada
China [ˈʧaɪnə] - China
United States- United States
Brazil- Brazil
Australia [ɒˈstreɪliːə] - Australia
India [ˈɪndɪə] - India
Argentina [ˌɑːʤənˈtiːnə] - Argentina
Kazakhstan Kazakhstan
Algeria [ælˈʤɪərɪə] - Algeria
