Countries that care most about gender equality are rich countries which obviously have a higher live expectancy. Doesn't sound that surprising to me.

tbh, for me as an Austrian it's no easy either, despite pronouncing the letters the same. It's the many consonants in comparison that makes it hard. And the Háčeks.

Adršpach is Adersbach in Germam for example. Teplice/Teplitz is easier, altough I was never sure if you pronounce the "c" as "ts" or "tsch".
