since there is such an "english speakers who don't even try to pronounce a foreign mame correctly" epidemic, native english speakers often try to overcorrect and end up thinking they have a moral imperative to pronounce every foreign name correctly at all times. so i'm gonna hold your hand and look into your eyss as i say this: you can't. you can't pronounce every sound in a language you don't speak. and that's fine. it happens to the rest of us too. we won't be mad so long as you try your best.
βI did some research to pronounce this name correctlyβ = π great! even if the pronunciation was still off (and learning to pronounce a foreign language correctly takes a lot of practice) people generally appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile for accuracy, and honestly, languages are cool
βIβm probably not saying that correctlyβ/βsorry for my pronunciationβ = π understandable! foreign languages often have sounds that arenβt used in English and learning to correctly pronounce unfamiliar phonemes is genuinely difficult even with help
βlol Iβm not even gonna TRY to pronounce that πβ = π THIS is the problem, if treats languages other than English like they are inherently βweirdβ or βoverly complicatedβ just because you arenβt familiar with them
βOne thousand apologies for my butchering of this beautiful effervescent tongue, I will now flagellate myself as punishment for my crimesβ = π chill
