Slight correction lang on the proper pronunciations sis. :)

Twenty and Internet can both be pronounced as stated above or as is (with the T sounds). :)

Southern - suhth-ern
Connecticut - kuh-net-i-kuht
Stomach - stuhm-uhk (It'll sound odd or OA kasi if pronounced with a short A sound. Hehe.)

Kérastase - keh rha - stahz

pag mejo realistic talaga parang "keh (y)" with a very slight "y" or almost "kei" ang first syllable :)

tag heuer - tag hoyer

(sometimes you'll also hear a quiet "r" somewhere in there like "horyer" from native speakers)

etude - ey-tood / ey - chood

sa french, eh-tud (parang "tood" din but shorter, not "tuhd")

Tomato, tomato.

It's an acronym, so you can say it however you want.  "Peet-uh" just comes naturally for native English speakers.  But I've heard it with the short "e" too, just like how a lot of people say it here.  Okay lang ang "peh-ta" kasi ganun talaga ang natural na slide ng dila dito.

Yung pangit is pag sinabi mo "peet-uh" tapos mali mali and unnatural naman yung pronunciation mo of everything else.  ;D
