I Just Bought A Loo-Is-Wooi-Torn U'Know...LOL

Expensive brands usually come with one thing besides high prices and glamour, they're absurdly hard to pronounce!! LOL Well, mainly because a lot of them are in French, so people like us Asians obviously struggle to get the right pronounciation.
Here's a few brands I've managed to confirm and sharing how they should be pronounced:

HERMES - In French, it's pronounced as air-mess (don't forget to accentuate the R for 'air'), but often known as Her-mees (also acceptable)

L'OCCITANE - lox- ee- tahn

LOUIS VUITTON - louie-vee-thonk (s for Louis is silent)

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO - Most of us would have gotten this one right, it's sell-vah-toe-reh-fair-rah-gah-moe (again, don't forget the strong R)

ESTEE LAUDER - This one's pretty easy too, it's es-tay-loh-der

GUERLAIN - ger-lahn (ger as in GARY's gar, with a strong R)

These are just a few. Do share if you have any others LOL
