There were times when I pronounced Chanel as Channel. There were times when my tongue got twisted trying to pronounce “Ermenegildo Zegna”. And there were also times when I pronounced Miu Miu as “Meow meow” (ok, that was by accident).
My knowledge of pronouncing the big names was a little shaky back then, but even now I might still need to repeat the names twice (and in a slower pace) to get them right.
We’ve put together a video of the names in their original pronunciation. I think it would be fun and useful to you.
