US States and Their Capitals

Learn how to pronounce the names of the US states and their capitals.

Ever since I was really young, I've always been fascinated with states and their capitals, and I had them all memorized by age 5. At age 22, I've currently been to 29 states and 10 state capitals. I'm hoping to visit more real soon. :)
Edit: I have now been to all 50 states, and 14 capitals :)

Well, \ˈbȯi-sē\ might well be a regional pronunciation, but \ˈbȯi-zē\ is also a standard pronunciation. As for Honolulu, the vowel in the second syllable is actually a schwa since that is an unstressed syllable. And "o" has the "ah" sound when it is a short vowel: \ˌhä-nə-ˈlü-(ˌ)lü\ or \hō-nə-ˈlü-(ˌ)lü\. So, the pronunciations I've used in this video are not incorrect - they are standard ;)

If you think it's "boring, " feel free to make your own "exciting" video - "boring" is in the eye of the beholder ;)

Good video! I'm wondering why most capitals are less known than those non-capital big cities in each state.

Its Really Nice to Know the 50 states of USA, Clearly Stated. Thanks For Creating this channel

For someone that grew up outside the us never hearing these, it's useful to not make a fool of myself pronouncing Arkansas wrong :P

Thanks, man, that is helpful, I'm learning English

I am a Brit I found this useful because I like memory tests but I would have liked a pause between the capital and the state to test my own knowledge. Using it this way, I would have preferred the name of the state first. This is not a criticism because the video was intended for pronunciation purposes but I am still searching for a video that meets my requirements. Can anyone help?

I'm a call center agent handling US customers and I find it helpful. Thanks for the video, guys!

I got this on loop while I am sleeping so I can memorize it so even if I forget my conciounsness or however you spell it will remind me of it while I'm sleeping me and that thing work well together

sempre achava que Nova York, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia e Miami era capitais de seus estados por serem as maiores cidades e mas famosas mundo afora!
