      <description>&lt;caption id="attachment_391137" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1122.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391137" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1122.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WEB DESK: Being bilinguals or in few cases multilingual(s), we have all some difficulty to pronounce certain words which may be 'English' or derived from other languages. Also, such pronunciation issues occur due to variety of accents. The way we speak or our accent is always distinguished from native speakers and one should not worry about it. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, there is still a way or a quick guide through which you can improve your pronunciation. The words given below aren't really easy to pronounce as they sound totally diverse from their spellings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MousseÂ &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391128" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/111.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391128" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/111.jpg" alt="-facebook/pakistan " width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A variation in deserts, Mousse is difficult to pronounce. The word sounds like 'mouse' and people do pronounce it as 'mouse' which is wrong. The correct way to say it is 'moo-s'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CaramelÂ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391129" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/222.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391129" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/222.jpg" alt="-facebook/pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next one is 'caramel' again a word belongs to sweets category. If you pronounce it as 'car-mel' then you are wrong as the correct pronunciation is 'kar-ah-mehl'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CroissantÂ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391130" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/332.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391130" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/332.jpg" alt="-facebook/pakistan " width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be surprised to learn that some words sound really different from their spelling and 'croissant' is one of them. We pronounce it as 'cro-see-ont but it is 'Kwah-son'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jalapeno&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391131" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/441.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391131" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/441.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To all the lovers of spicy food, here is quick way to make correction if you are pronouncing it wrong till date. The ingredient which adds flavor and irresistibility to your food is actually 'hah-lah-peh-nyoh' not 'Ja-la-peh-noh'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mojito&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391133" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/66.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391133" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/66.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although it is a refreshing drink but its pronounce may confuse you. This 'mojito' made with lemon and water is called 'mo-hi-to'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OnionÂ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391134" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/77.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391134" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/77.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The vegetable that has potential to make you cry without any reason is pronounce as 'a-nion'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Almond&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391135" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/99.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391135" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/99.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eat hand-full of almonds because it will make to remember that they are pronounced as 'ah-mund' not 'aal-mund'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Espresso&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391136" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1100.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391136" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1100.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This list also includes espresso. So, next time when to ask for one pronounce it as 'es-press-oh' and 'ex-press-o' isn't the right pronunciation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BuffetÂ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;caption id="attachment_391137" align="aligncenter" width="680"&gt;&lt;a href="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1122.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-391137" src="https://i.aaj.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1122.jpg" alt="-facebook/Pakistan" width="680" height="624" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -facebook/Pakistan&lt;/caption&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Foodies, the right way to pronounce 'buffet' is 'boo-fay' not 'buff-ay'.&lt;/p&gt;
