Language / PRONUNCIATION OF ENGLISH WORDS IN POLAND [24]

A really bad one I saw was an ad for Cillit Bang. In Polish, they pronounce g as hard, like in 'great'. So instead of a nice soft ending on 'bang', it sounded like 'bank'.

When the ad came on the tv, I heard what I thought was a 'Citi Bank' ad, but looked at the screen and saw some woman cleaning a kitchen top.
