Next try jah-lah-pen-oh
With the accent on "LAH".
Six spices!? Some must be repeats.
Yes because that’s the standard pronunciation in the UK
Same with courgettes (zucchini) and coriander leaves (cilantro)

o-reg-en-o
Or-e-gah-no

I'll also pronounce Oregon as "Ore gone."
"Why would ya try and find gold up there? They already took all the ore. That's why it's called ore gone!"
