Re: Pronounciation
Take the last sound of the word "box" (i.e. the /x/ part) then add the 'eniya' part.

Re: Pronounciation
It's hard to pronounce 'x' on the beginning of a word (but not that one on the case of the word xylophone).

I still think it depends of your native tongue - I have no problems with it. : )

Re: Pronounciation
Or you can try pronouncing XE in the same way as you do in "AleXEi".
As a Czech, I also don´t have troubles with it.

Re: Pronounciation
How do you say Sigmaringen? As in Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, I know how to say Hohenzollern as it was explained in earlier posts but I cannot say Sigmaringen correctly or rather I know I am not saying it correctly.

In Russian Sigmaringen sounds like you rerad it, only the first sound is Z.
