Voice of America Pronunciation Guide

Here is a handy little tip sheet for the global executive—a pronunciation guide of the names of many world figures (MILOSEVIC, SLOBODAN, pronounced slow-BO-dahn mee-LOW-sheh-vih-ch ); organizations (AL QAIDA, pronounced al K-EYE-(eh)-duh); and other words of interest (AL-TUWAITHA, an Iraq nuclear facility, pronounced al-too-WAY-thah). Each entry comes with an audio file so that you can hear the correct pronunciation. We especially like the "Notes" under some entries, such as the one informing us that ISMAIL, RAZALI of Malaysia is referred to simply as Mr. Razali.
