Most Mispronounced Monday

OAXACA, Mexico.
This one goes out to my friend from Mexico. Her home town is one of the most mispronounced places on the planet! And you can see why....

The correct pronounciation is actually “Wah-ha-ca”. To remember this one – JUST LEARN IT! Sadly, there are no tricks!

Some Quick Oaxaca Facts:

1. Oaxaca chocolate is FAMOUS and they produce some of the best coffee in the world!
2. Guelaguetza festival in July: celebrating cultural diversity and traditions throughout Oaxaca
3. Monte Albán (see photo): archaeological site.
4. Cooking classes in town.
5. The people: renowned as some of the nicest people you will ever meet!
