Take the pronunciation challenge with me and Gideon from @LetThemTalkTV! From “amigo to zeitgeist, we’ll explain how loanwords are pronounced in English.

There is no one “correct“ way to pronounce a loanword either in the source language or in English. There is linguistic variety around the world and different people will pronounce words in different ways. I'm unable to mention every possible pronunciation of a loanword within this video. 2. Not all speakers of the languages we talk about will have the same phonetic features (or these features to the same degree) as I describe. However, the comments I do make are true for some speakers.
