That sound doesn't exist in English. You have people on here arguing over two incorrect pronunciations. Whether they say rye or ree it isn't correct. It's like Kyu (q) in that the y sound is merged into the same sylable as the other consonent. There is no vowel in between the onset and the u sound. Without practice English speakers cannot make that sound because it doesn't exist in their language. It's different than the tsu sound which does exist, but isn't present at the start of words in English. The Ryu sound is simply not present (neither is Ryo or Kyo). But again it isn't really worth worrying about because you shouldn't be expected to pronounce foreign names correctly in your native language. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...

I said they would need to practice. Just like Japanese people need to practice sounds not present in their language to learn English. And no that sound isn't present in English. Give me a single English word with the "Ryu" sound in it. People wouldn't struggle to say a sound if it was present in their language. That should be obvious.

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.

Multiple people in this topic have trouble saying the word. where? can you cite even a single person saying that they have trouble rolling an r into a y? or if you're referring to people saying rye-you, then they're doing so due to ignorance of the name's actual pronunciation or habit, not cause of any actual linguistic difficulties on their parts I have also met many English speakers in real life that cannot say it (including famous fighting game players). who the fuck cares like with bringing up having japanese coworkers, this is irrelevant 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 actually is easy, but where am i acting like they should feel bad? i mean, i'm trying to make you feel bad for making stupid/bullshit points, but not others 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. a super, 100% authentic japanese r can be hard to accurately, 100% replicate and pronounce like a native rolling an r into a y isn't (and again - bringing up how you used to tutor = irrelevant) 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. what part of "phonetically possible" do you not get again, like with my spanish example, it doesn't exist in english yet, as a non-spanish speaker, i can somehow... replicate the sound?! whaaaat --- live and let live ...
