i cant post any pronunciations cause i dont know the correct form of the words, but i do think that if you get enough CORRECT pronunciations that this should become a sticky. good job riiight.gif

I'm pretty sure "Mahou" is pronounced "Ma-ho", "Shoudou" is "show-doh" and "L'amour et la liberté" is "La more eh la lee-behr-teh".

I'm also sure that "DXY!" is pronounced "dixie", not "d-x-y".

Tsugaru - ツガル - Tsoo Gah Roo
Xenon - Zee non
Kakumei - カクメイ - Kah Koo May
Ecstacy - Eks Tuh See
Secret Rendez-vous - See Kret Rohn Day Voo
Yozora No Muko - ヨゾラノムコ - Yoh Zoh Rah Noh Moo Koh
Daikenkai - ダイケンカイ - Die Ken Kie (like pie)
Mahou No Tobira - マホウノトビラ - Mah Hoe No Toe Bee Rah
Sana Morette Ne Ente - サナモレッテネエンテ - Sah Nah Moe Ret Teh Neh Ehn Teh
Aoi Shoudou - アオイショドウ - Ah Oh Ee Show Dough

I really didn't care about what belongs in katakana and hiragana, so I left it all in katakana. Anything japanese is incredibly easy to pronounce, yet everybody says it wrong. It is exactly what it looks like, considering that the japanese have only 5 vowel sounds, while we have like 20 or something. They have A (like paw), I (like cheese), U (like shoe), E (like wet), and O (like no). Combinations like AI sounds like pie, while EI sounds like May. If you mispronounce English words, you are sad.

EDIT: I forgot, you have to put your browser in Unicode or whatever to see the katakana correcty.

awww... I misspronounce english words E2.gif
anways, it's a foreign language to me so it's ok E15.gif
btw: spanish and japanese share the same vowel scheme... it's easier to me to pronounce japanese than english... even though it's easier to learn english than japanese

and don't go flamebaiting with country names (that was the core of this post)

Guys, start taking this thread seriously. You know you've said em wrong
one time or another, this is just to help people know how to say some
of the song titles that are hard to pronounce. You wouldn't want to
challenge someone and say "alright, lets play t-soo-go-roo. *People laugh
and you feel stupid* just try to respect it.

The only pronunciation that really bothers me is of Tsugaru. People always say Tsoo Goo Roo. Goo? Goo does not equal Ga. It's an A people! Yeah, if I ever see you and you say that, you will be slapped. E4.gif

GarySurvivor’s pronunciation is the closest way to say Tsugaru.
“Tsu” sounds like Cats or Wits.
By the way, I’m Japanese from Tsugaru area so I should know.
Orion.78 – Orion Naha (7-nana & 8-hachi) Naha is main city of Okinawa prefecture and Name of Beer made in Okinawa (Rampage told us that in another thread).

Irresistiblement would be French and therefore you are saying it wrong!

AM-3P: am-three-pee (that's how I say it - does anyone say A.M.?)
Janejana: jane-jah-nah

I say "A.M." and so do my friends.

The "Virtual" in La Senorita Virtual is pronounced the Spanish way, right? Because I say it the Spanish way.

Gamelan de couple- I say it "Gah-meh-lan deh Couple".
321 Stars- I say it "3-2-1 stars" not "three hundred and twenty one stars".
