ATTN: Amerifags.

OK, so it's pretty obvious on /trv/ that many Americans wish to either visit or move to New Zealand.Yet the amount of times I hear Americans butcher the names of New Zealand cities is making me rage beyond all rage. Protip: LEARN TO FUCKING PRONOUNCE THE NAMES OF OUR FINE CITIES PROPERLY BEFORE YOU GO, YOU HALFWITS.

In such case, print this shit off:

1. AUCKLAND - It's not fucking "arck-land" it's pronounced "ork-land"

2. DUNEDIN - It's not "duuune-din" (fucking rage at this) it's pronounced "duh-nee-din"

3. BLENHEIM - It's not "blen-haiim" it's pronounced "blen-em"

4. ROTORUA - It's not "ro-torrr-wa" it's pronounced "ro-to-ru-a", simple.

5. WANGANUI - It's not "waaan-gan-uuueee" it's pronounced "won-ga-nu-ee"

And I'm sure New Zealander's NEVER butcher the names of the rest of the world with their perfect grasp of pronunciation in any language, amirite?

Besides, all the examples you gave sound pretty similar. I think you're just being a bit of a xenophobic douche. Fair assumption?

blen-haim should have been pronounce like that in the first place... it's a Bavarian name (from Germany)... You silly Commonwealth Brits seem to forget Americans get their shitty accent from you guys, I'm sure all the other places you've mentioned are also mispronounced.

You can even say Banana: >banoonoo?

BUH-NUH-NUH!!! <fail, get yourself an education and stop raping sheep.

That's correct.

One thing I noticed when I spent 2 weeks in New Zealand was everyone was so fucking arrogant about their country, and it appears that it wasn't just the people I met.

Why not just tell the people they're pronouncing it wrong when you hear it, and let them be on their merry way. Do you really expect them to be fucking born with the knowledge of pronouncing Maori names like Paraparaumu?

Have some fucking patience.

Alright, who gave the Chatham Island hillbilly internet access? Not only do I bet your Maori pronunciation needs working on, but I'd love to see you somewhere like China and pick up their pronouncation in an absolute heartbeat, you master of world dialects you.

OP here, I am proficient in 7 languages, two of which include Maori and Cantonese. So STFU.

I'm not xenophobic either. I just love to criticise, especially if it's directed at Amerifags. :D

OP here, what does it matter how words are pronounced, seriously? We are not all accustomed to local accents and ways of pronunciation. You're just being petty for no reason.

Amerifag here, I pronounced all but two of the cities as you do. Auckland I say, "Owk-land", and an AH sound, kind of like saying "ouch". Blenheim I said, "blen-heyem"" Yes, I know that makes you RAGE, but the EI combination of letters in German is pronounced like "eye", and the word "Blenheim" looks pretty German, so, fuck you.
