This Canadian province is sometimes pronounced New – FOUND – land. But that is wrong wrong wrong, and Newfoundlanders would be snickering behind your back or guffawing loudly if they weren’t the nicest people in the world.
But since they are the nicest people in the world, they will kindly give you this little trick to how to pronounce their fine province’s name, as they did to me.
How do you pronounce Newfoundland?
“It rhymes with understand.”
So – it’s New-fun-LAND. UnderSTAND?
Well, actually, sometimes it sounds more like New-fin-LAND when spoken. But the fun in the middle is way more accurate.
