For the first time I have failed to come up with a (debatably) catchy title for our day. That's mainly because today we were at Cres, on a yacht and went snorkelling. I was all set for watercress until I discovered that the pronunciation is nothing like that at all.
Here is what I learnt: Cres is pronounced like "tsress" (rhymes with "dress" but with a sharp "ts" sound at the beginning). The name is just one syllable, and the "e" is pronounced as a short vowel.
For a practical breakdown:
Start with a crisp "ts" sound, identical to the end of the word "cats".
Flow directly into "ress" (as in "stress".
