  Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.

• 00:02

  This is a bonus episode that I like to call Jack Chats.

• 00:06

  These are opportunities for me to read comments from our WhatsApp group or end emails from our email inbox.

• 00:17

  And there are usually a few emails in there, oftentimes from the same same people.

• 00:27

  But if you are a new listener to the podcast, please send us an email.

• 00:33

  I will read it in a Jack chat episode and make sure it's something that you don't mind sharing with the world.

• 00:44

  But if you want me to share your ideas or your comments, this is a great way to do that.

• 00:54

  And so today we had a pretty funny conversation in the WhatsApp group.

• 01:02

  We were debating the pronunciation of the candy chupa chup.

• 01:11

  My whole life I have been pronouncing it wrong.

• 01:14

  I just learned today, thanks to Selma from France, she helped me.

• 01:23

  And Layla.

• 01:24

  Layla is from Saudi Arabia, and Layla and I had agreed that it was chupa chup, because if you think about it like, p u p is pup or n u t is nut.

• 01:44

  So c h u p should be chup.

• 01:49

  But it's not.

• 01:50

  It's chup.

• 01:52

  It's chupa chup, not chuppah chup or chupa chup.

• 01:58

  So sounds like baby talk or something that I'm saying right now, but apparently I learned that today that chupa chup is a spanish candy, so it comes from Spain.

• 02:14

  So maybe the pronunciation in Spanish of c h u p would be chup instead of chup.

• 02:22

  And Salma said that in France it's chupe chupe.
