40+ Nationalities Recite The Last 5 Presidents or Heads Of Their Country

How different do you think the names of the people from one country to another? In this blog, weโ€™ll find out! I asked more than 40 nationalities to recite the full names of the last five leaders of their country, may they be Presidents or Prime Ministers. Not only that weโ€™re able to compare the differences of names based on our nationality but weโ€™re also able to share the list of leaders who served our country.

Hi there! I am Daniel from the Philippine islands (located in Asia). In my country, Filipino names sound very hispanic. Why? Well itโ€™s due to the massive Spanish influence during the colonial period that lasted more than 300 years. Just a fun fact.

Anyway, here the challenge:

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY

We might be surprised of how different the peopleโ€™s names in each country! In this challenge, Iโ€™d like to know the full names of the last five presidents or prime ministers or whatever you call the head of your country -both past and present.

๐ŸŽ™First, record an audio by introducing yourself first (name, country, and language) and then recite the full names of the last five Presidents / PMs / Head of your country. Please start from the present one down to the previous ones. If he or she has been elected more than once, just mention him/her once. You need to complete 5 different peopleโ€™s names as much as possible.

๐Ÿ“œSecond, share the list of the full names of those 5 different people.ย 
1. (present)
2. (past)
3. (past)
4. (past)
5. (past)
(Use roman alphabets only)
