    Cuba is a Spanish word which is pronouncedC-oo-ba (Cuba). In English it’s C-you-ba like she said.
    So it’s not incorrect to pronounce it the Spanish way.

    1:38, let me explain. The word colonel came to English from Italian (colonelo), but pronunciation is actually taken from French word coronelle. So it's a hybrid, such a situation is typical of English. The most interesting thing, that later, French borrowed the word colonello from Italian, and stopped using their own word coronello.

      I agree with your sentiment. American (English pronunciation) is not the only way. What about the English spoken in London, Canada Australia, and the Caribbean plus the names of Spanish countries should not be Americanized or even Anglicized let's learn to pronounce them as far as possible as the native speakers do. I hate the anglicized gen/rer pronuciation for the French 'genre'. It is always refreshing, for me to listen to the many ways native speakers communicate with each other when using English. Lastly language is situational and dynamic and I enjoy this.

    I have an idea why colonel is spoken with an “R” and not with “L“ interesting in my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) we say “coronel” also meaning a senior military officer, and it’s not a random coincidence I searched the etymology of colonel: [Alteration of obsolete coronel, from French, from Old Italian colonello, from diminutive of colonna, column of soldiers, from Latin columna, column.
