People Try To Name 9 Louisiana Towns That Are Hard To Pronounce
I remember when I first moved to Louisiana back in 2001. I came across a lot of different names when I first got here and I am sure that I have probably messed up a name or two during my twenty years of being here. Believe me, with me being a native of Mississippi, there are not a lot of languages that I am fluent in. As a matter of fact, I took 2 years of French in high school and there is nothing like the French language that you would hear around Louisiana.
I came across this hilarious video from "It's A Southern Thing" and I laughed from the beginning to the end.
