Brand Pronunciation Quiz
How do you really say Porsche, Givenchy or Hyundai? Hear each brand and choose the correct pronunciation — the wrong answers are the mistakes people actually make.
About Brand Pronunciation Quiz
The Brand Pronunciation Quiz turns the everyday embarrassment of mispronouncing famous brands into a fast, addictive game. Each round names a well-known brand — a car maker, fashion house, tech company or food label — and plays it aloud, then asks you to choose the correct pronunciation from four respellings. The wrong answers are not random: they are the real mistakes people make, like saying Porsche as one syllable or guessing at Givenchy, so every question feels familiar and every correct answer is satisfying.
Each respelling is written in plain English (POR-shuh, zhawn-vahn-SHEE) alongside the IPA, so you learn not just which answer is right but exactly how the sounds work. Brand names are a perfect ESL topic because they break the normal spelling-to-sound rules of English — they come from German, French, Italian, Korean and Japanese — and getting them right is the kind of detail that makes you sound confident and worldly in real conversation.
Play as many rounds as you like; the pool reshuffles every game. The Brand Pronunciation Quiz suits intermediate learners and native speakers alike, anyone who loves cars, fashion or tech, and teachers who want a high-energy two-minute warm-up. Free to play, no sign-up needed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I play the Brand Pronunciation Quiz?
Each round shows a famous brand and plays it aloud. Pick the correct pronunciation from four respellings. A correct pick reveals the IPA and the common mistake to avoid; then you move on. A full game is ten brands and you can replay as often as you like.
Why are brand names so hard to pronounce?
Most global brands come from other languages — Porsche and Audi from German, Givenchy and Hermès from French, Versace and Lamborghini from Italian, Hyundai from Korean. Their spelling follows the original language, not English rules, so English speakers guess wrong unless they have heard the name said correctly.
Is this quiz good for ESL learners?
Yes. Brand names come up constantly in real life — shopping, cars, fashion, technology — and saying them correctly is a confidence booster. The quiz pairs every answer with a plain respelling and IPA, so you learn transferable pronunciation patterns, not just isolated facts.
Can I play more than once?
Yes. There is no daily limit. Every game reshuffles the brand pool, so you can play several rounds in a row and keep meeting new names.
