actually that sounds a bit english - I think jpn people would stress the "i" (pronounced as "e") aswell.

So "Su-ee-ko-den"?

 

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's that one.  In japanese, you just pronounce each vowel separately, even when they're right next to eachother.  There aren't a bunch of extra pronounciation rules (silent Es, etc.) as there are in english.

 

    Swee-ko-den is just kind of su-ee-ko-den sped up though, if you think about it.  You'll probably get closer to the right pronounciation if you don't think of it as Swee, however, and just try to say "Su-ee" without sounding like you've been lobotomized.

 

 

Now that makes everything so much easier. It is pretty much what I do with Spanish when I try to pronounce words.
