    Dimitris from Easy Greek does excellent videos about the Greek language. He is a brilliant presenter. However, due to the fact that he is half Australian, he clearly has an advantage over the rest in pronouncing English words. It would be like having Katie from Easy Italian taking part in this kind of episodes.

    Janusz gave the right pronunciation for the American version of the word "Anesthetist". Didn't realize that British English not only spelled it differently, but pronounce it slightly differently too!
    #6 is just where British English starts screwing with you xD.
    #14 Some of the Northmen in Game of Thrones definitely pronounced it as "eye-ron": "They can keep their eye-ron chair!"
