Help[Opinions] No, it's not pronounced like Michael . . .
in reply to a message by LadyBug18
The correct pronunciation is MI-hal, but the 'h' is a rougher sound, a bit closer to the 'ch' in Loch or Bach.
I don't mind it but it's not a favourite either.

I believe the correct (Hebrew) pronouciation is mee-KHAL, with the glutteral "ch" sound in Hebrew and German. :) However, you probably wouldn't get that in an English-speaking country.

I'm sure I've heard it pronounced like Michael by English speakers. I am very ignorant of Hebrew so don't take my word for it, but the *English* pronunciation might well be like Michael. Think of Achan, Enoch, Malachi etc. which use the hard "k" sound in English.
