Help[Facts] Re: German pronounciation question
in reply to a message by Mar
Well I knew sh, before t, but I didn't know before v.
But what if it was like Sanya or Slava? and maybe Svitlana would still be said with s? Like in Russian е is pronounced "ye" normally but in foreign names it is "eh". So I wondered if German maybe does similar thing here?
I think ss (ß) is always s sound, would I want to use this for if I wanted German to pronounce these names with s or would Germans assume that foreign name with s is prounced same?
