Now try the Welsh name for it: Swydd Gaerwrangon.

It’s pronounced “Worcestershire”.

I’m from England and wouldn’t pronounce it like this at all. The “woo” sounds like you’re a ghost or something and the “sure” part is just outright wrong.

It’s really hard express through text, but I’d say “wuss-ter-she-er” (the wuss part is pronounced the same way as if you’re refering to a cowardly person), is much closer. Regional accents could make it different tho.

It gets ‘em in the right ballpark, at least, and away from confidently saying “Wore-sess-tur-shah-yer”, so I’m good with it.
