In reply to: I used to have my students in Spain attempt to Ohio places since posted by senorbrightside
towns and cities in Ohio share a name with a more famous place elsewhere in the world. We have, among many others, a Rome, a Berlin, a Lima, an Athens, a Paris, a London, a Milan and many more. A lot of the places in Ohio pronounce their names differently than their more famous counterparts; Berlin becomes "BURR-lin", Lima is "LYE-ma", Milan is "MY-lan", etc. (but I'm sure you know most of this). My favorite Northern-ish Ohio places with hard to pronounce names are Mantua ("MAN-away") and Gnadenhutten (most natives say "Guh-NAY-tin-huh'in")
