| Topic | I pronounce Ryu "Rye-you", is that weird? |
| ssjevot 05/19/19 2:49:40 AM #45: | Multiple people in this topic have trouble saying the word. I have also met many English speakers in real life that cannot say it (including famous fighting game players). And you are acting like they should all feel bad or whatever because it's actually super easy to pronounce despite it not being in their language. It's not easy to pronounce for English speakers. No Japanese teachers think that. They spend time having students practice that pronunciation because it is hard. I used to tutor people learning Japanese and it was a difficult sound for many of them to learn. You think very highly of yourself and think anyone that can't pronounce these things sucks at language. That's not how language works. If sounds aren't present in your native language you struggle to pronounce them without practice. That's basic science. The majority of English speakers cannot pronounce Ryu without practice or exposure to a language with the sound in it. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...
