How Canada could make Geography Class easier for English-speaking students around the world |
|
Edited on Mon Jul-06-09 07:09 PM by Boojatta
Canada would be less of a mystery if the names of its larger states were easy to remember:
British Columbia --> Fridumbia
Alberta --> Saturta
Saskatchewan --> Sundewan
Manitoba --> Monditoba
Ontario --> Tuesario
Quebec --> Wedistinct

1. How Canada could make Geography Class funnier... |
|
Just point out Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on the map and have students say it three times, quickly.
Next, have a contest to see who can pronounce Nunavut correctly.
That is all.
