Help with question(please)
Hi, there
Should I say “We are going to talk about the pronunciation of the names of brands that exist in Brazil, but THEY are pronounced differently in English” or We are going to talk about the pronunciation of the names of brands that exist in Brazil, but WHICH(that) are pronounced differently in English”?
Thank you

You should say: " We are going to talk about the pronunciation of the names of brands that exist in Brazil which (or that) are pronounced differently." Remove the "but"!

These two sentences express different meanings.
The first means that the topic of your conversation will be brands that exist in Brazil. Then, you have a comment giving extra information about the brands. This comment is introduced by the "but they" phrase. This comment is not understood to be part of the subject of the conversation. It's just a piece of extra information.
The second sentences means that your topic of conversation will be Brazilian brands that have a different pronunciation in English. Just take out the "but", because it's unneccesary.
I think you are wanting the second one.

I would probably say "We are going to talk abou the pronounciation of brand names that exist in Brazil which are pronounced differently in English." (I'm a native speaker of English).
