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.

That's true. I don't actually know why Enoch, Achan, and Malachi are different. Maybe you could ask Miss Claire?

The English pron'n of Michal could be like Michael or MEE-kal or mee-KAL. It depends, and there isn't really a 'right' way to say it in English.
