Re: pronouncing shun
in reply to a message by gunblade007
I've never met a Jpns. gal named Shun... usually just guys... Maybe her name was Jun... or maybe she has parents who decided to make up their own name for her... that happens... but yes, the Jpns. "u" is always pronounced "oo" like in boot except when it's used as an extention of an "o" sound or a dipthong.
