Beijing Olympics Pronounced Beijing, Not Beijing

Starting Friday you are going to hear the word Beijing several hundred times a day.  A good portion of those pronunciations will be incorrect.

While I’m not what some would call an expert of the English language, I did run across this website to help me and you with the right way to say the city where the 2008 Summer Olympics are being held.  It’s actually a pretty cool site, some guy has put audio files online with the correct way to say hard-to-pronounce words (sorry, bad words are not on the site, I checked).

Check out the site above and watch the opening ceremonies Friday night starting at 7:30 PM EDT only on NBC17!
