I can’t type out the pronunciation but have you guys heard American people read Japanese names? My god, it is so weird. Say that to Japanese people and I bet half of the time they don’t recognise what it is. The way a foreign language is being butchered is beyond imagination.
I had a (white American) friend who insisted on pronouncing every Japanese word he got to in a sentence with the proper heavy Japanese accent/pronunciation, and he sounded like a fucking idiot. It’s a strange phenomenon.
