Now, a proper, American name would be something along the lines of 'Sherman MacIntosh'

What's up with everyone having to learn Chinese? That's far from LEARNING Chinese, just some pronunciation. Is that so much of a bother? Why do asians have to adjust to the liking of Americans just because they find it a little difficult? Heck, they wouldn't even be able to pronounce my surname properly at all, and I'm European. As if I would change my name to make it '' easier '' for others, it's a real bad excuse. People it's n o t t h a t h a r d.

Let us compare an Asian name with a typically English name: Asian: Wang Zhi You English: Bartholomew Glyndwr As you can clearly see, it is much easier to pronounce the English name than it is to say the gibberish above.

Not everyone is able to curl their tongue, and out of those only a few are able to twist it. this is based on your genetic code and you can't learn to do it however much you try, just like you cant will your eyes to be different colour (no contacts doesn't count)...This doesn't necessarily impair your ability to pronounce a name though...

1tyma 17 cr points Send Message: 70 / M Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 6/6/10 Ah! Some car brands should change their names because they're so hard to prounce! Peugeot. Who ever guessed that it's pronounced "Pew-j/shyo" (French), rather than "Pew-giot"?? Hyundai. "Hi-yoon-dai"? "Hyun-day"? The correct Korean pronounciation is "Hyon-dae" (Korean). Nissan. Shouldn'really cause much problems, but I've heard this on New Zealand radio: "Nissin"... idiot! "Knee-san", "Nissaaan". The correct Japanese pronounciation is "Niisaan". Subaru. Soo-ba-roo. It's Japanese.

nycpu 41 cr points Send Message: 20 / F / Texas Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 6/15/10 The whole statement is stupid! Really, name pronunciation is far from actually learning Chinese. Why is it only the Asians? Why not ask everyone to change their names? Names are unique and that shouldn't be taken away just because someone is having trouble with the pronunciation. Since when did people become so lazy? Learning is not a bad thing! Its just ridiculous!
