Cuba is a Spanish word which is pronouncedC-oo-ba (Cuba). In English it’s C-you-ba like she said. So it’s not incorrect to pronounce it the Spanish way.

1:38, let me explain. The word colonel came to English from Italian (colonelo), but pronunciation is actually taken from French word coronelle. So it's a hybrid, such a situation is typical of English. The most interesting thing, that later, French borrowed the word colonello from Italian, and stopped using their own word coronello.

I have an idea why colonel is spoken with an “R” and not with “L“ interesting in my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) we say “coronel” also meaning a senior military officer, and it’s not a random coincidence I searched the etymology of colonel: [Alteration of obsolete coronel, from French, from Old Italian colonello, from diminutive of colonna, column of soldiers, from Latin columna, column.

It depends whether you are pronouncing "thorough" as an American or an English person. This lady said "thour-o", because she's American. In English english it is "thu-rah." There are slight differences not only in pronounciation but also in meanings of the same word, between English and American "english" of which we need to be aware.

3:21 In British English colonel does not have a pronounced R, and neither for that matter does kernel. We do not pronounce R at the end of a syllable unless it is followed by a vowel. The word car in British English would I think be denoted by ca: Also to a British ear, you are saying audomadically. Americans commonly voice the T.
