Un-phonetic English

That's just it.. English is not a phonetic language. That's what wrong with it.. I wish I could be a purist and learn the pronunciation symbols from the dictionary. I always say I'll do it, maybe I should just go ahead.

Ah the beauty of phonetics...

Volkswagen - फोक्सवागन
Mercedes - मर्सेदीस
Porsche - पोर्शे
Renault - रेनो
Chevrolet - शेवरोले
Ferrari - फर्रारी
Audi - आऊदी

Lamborghini - Lamb-urr-gee-nee... :P Very difficult to make the Hindi word. Tried and failed miserably.

Note to self - Study the symbols.
