How to Pronounce Kamala Harris!

2024年8月8日 | 3 コメント

Dear Cafetalk Community,

How are you? I hope you're doing well! It's about 31 - 32 degrees Celsius at the maximum in the middle of Canada, where I live. I understand it's unbearably hot, especially in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. As a matter of fact, I think temperatures are going up all over the world due to global warming.

I hope you are finding creative ways to stay cool, but apart from staying inside with the air conditioner, I guess you don't have much choice. I hope it starts to cool down soon!

Today, I want to introduce Kamala Harris to you in case you don't know very much about her. I will post how to pronounce her name below. Many people mispronounce her name in several different ways, so, I wanted to share the correct pronunciation with you.

It's like the word, "comma" and then adding a "la" = Kamala

In addition, I will describe her in the summary by Britannica below:

[Kamala Harris]

Kamala Harris (born October 20, 1964, Oakland, California, U.S.) is the 49th vice president of the United States (2021– ) in the Democratic administration of Pres. Joe Biden. She is the first woman, the first Black American, and the first Asian American to hold the post. She had previously served in the U.S. Senate (2017–21) and as attorney general of California (2011–17). In July 2024, following his poor performance in a nationally televised debate with Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump, Biden abandoned his bid for reelection and endorsed Harris as the Democratic Party’s nominee in the presidential election of 2024. In early August, Harris was officially named the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee following her victory in a virtual vote of party delegates.

As an American citizen voting at the end of this year, I'm feeling a lot more hopeful and excited about the Harris-Waalz ticket! She is so qualified, educated, intelligent, strong, and ready to be President. I believe they can do good things for the country and provide good leadership for all Americans!

Let me know what you think. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Warmest regards,
