Us whities like our tacos. We shall pronounce taco right for you. But we are a bit dumb when it comes to ja ja sounds.

There was this stupid bitch on blogging.la a few years back that claimed that jacaranda was pronouned ha-ca-ran-da. Since it's Portugese in origin, it's actually pronounced zha-ca-ran-da making the way whiteys pronounced it okay.

But I'll just say that despite pronunciation guidelines, Los Feliz will always be Los FEE-liz and Palos Verdes will be Palos Ver-dees. And don't get me started on Sepulveda. Blah.

Plus anyhow all whiteys, brownies, blackies and people in between always get the Korean language wrong. So whatever.

i don't speak korean, but i bet if you taught me some i'd kick so much ass!

i hate when people are trying to figure out my name say "ohhhh the j is like a y in spanish, i keep forgetting." what? WHAT?? my name isnt mayela!

[angiewarhol]

just tell them it sounds like an "h" and maybe then whitey will get it right.

thats not always true. when some hispanics say my name, they pronounce it "Yennifer"... or "Yennifed" in a way.
mexican spanish isnt the same as cuban spanish, puerto rican spanish, columbian spanish or spanish spanish.

word.

i can't vouch for those guys. and cubans are wacky, they also drop consonants and turn na "l" into an "r" and vice versa. wtf!

[evolutioneve]

yep! that's why i am learning italian. :)
