Is the reading group still going on or am I now braving this book alone?

>Just passed those Black Mountain chapters
It's getting really good

>>9127743
native anglophone here
there's no separate "e" sound at the end of "hoe"
and "stem" isn't pronounced like that

This guy is wrong, he clearly fell for Cervantes's trick. It's obviously pronounced Don Quíjote

Ki (kiwi)
Ho (hot)
Te (steric)

Ki(wi)-Ho(me)-Tay(ler)

>>9127799

/thread

I have zero respect for "people" that don't know spanish

>>9127743
I thought the T was like in how you would correctly pronounce Goethe (i.e. Gurr-tah), and the E like the final E of Nietzsche

>>9127714

Netherlands as well. Spelled Don Quichot

>>9127853
does polish have a symbol for the "h" sound?
the lack of it might explain the "sh"
I know Russian lacks the "h", but their "xh" is closer than "sh"

A guy on my course would repeatedly pronounce Descartes as "Des-cart-ess", even after I picked him up on it.

Fucking ingrate, hope a lorry hits him.

I like how the English pronounce his name "Don Quicks-ott.

>>9127873
>Descartes
Who? Oh, you mean Renatus Cartesius?
pleb

>>9127873
I pronounce it as Desa-cahr-teh

How is it supposed to be pronounced?

>>9127886

Dey-cart.

>>9127872
Russian X denotes the exact same phoneme as the spanish J/X.

>>9127893
>not "deh-cah" for maximum patrician points

>>9127872
There are actually two symbols for "h" sound: h and ch. They both signifies same sound and how "h" sound is spelled is purely conventional.
Maybe we picked up this pronunciation from the Russians? Idk

>>9127905
Take a day off.

>>9127906
That's one fat fucking orangutan

>tfw always thought it was Don Quicks-oat
That's the way it is spelled.

>>9127901
why do poles use "sh" when they have "x" available to them?

>>9127932
How should I know?
