/24-7PressRelease/ - CEDAR PARK, TX, March 01, 2008 - Even for longtime Texans and Texas travelers, the Lone Star State is filled with difficult to pronounce city names. Mexia. Waxahachie. Refugio. Gruene. And even place names that look easy to pronounce, like Burnet and Lake Buchanan, are said with a Texas twist.
To help Texas travelers, TexasTripper.com has launched the new "Say It Like a Texan" audio guide . The online pronunciation guide features audio files of some of the state's toughest tongue twisters.
"I've lived in Texas all my life and still find that some of the place names don't come easily," notes John Bigley, co-editor of TexasTripper.com. The Texas native recorded the pronunciation guide which includes over 100 city names.
TexasTripper.com also features articles and guides covering the Lone Star State. Edited by professional travel writers (and husband-wife team) Paris Permenter and John Bigley, the site offers over 2,000 pages of information on Texas getaways. It also includes daily Texas travel news and an extensive section covering Texas festivals.
Permenter and Bigley have plenty of experience on the topic, having authored Day Trips from Austin, Day Trips from San Antonio, Insider's Guide to San Antonio, Texas Barbecue, Texas Getaways for Two and nearly 20 other guidebooks.
