Forvo, the world's largest pronunciation dictionary, has released its list of the most consulted words of 2020. Can you guess what words or names we could be talking about? It's no surprise that the pandemic has had a big impact on this list.
In comparison to the previous year, there are some terms and expressions that remain in the list, such as, "water", "through" or "schedule", which have become classic words in this classification.
In a year that has seen Forvo's database grow to 430 different languages, it seems that correct pronunciation remains as important as ever.
