Hard to Pronounce Toronto Street & Place Names

[regnard]

If you're planning on going to Toronto, here's a list of hard to pronounce street names and places:

• Yonge - same as saying "young"
• Spadina - "spa-dine-ah"; long "i" sound
• Bloor - rhymes with "poor"
• Dufferin - "duff-rin"; e sound is silent
• Etobicoke - "e-to-bee-co"; "k" sound is silent

For a full list of place/street names I've found challenging, feel free to look it up at my blog. ;D

Runnymede: "run-a-mede"
Dundas: "dun-dass" (pronounced almost like it's two separate words)
Strachan: "strawn"
