Should I try to pronounce someone’s name as they do, even if it feels unnatural in my own accent?
I'm an American born English speaker who knows very little language outside of my own.
That being said, I can HEAR when someone introduces themselves with a pronunciation that is different than what I could say in English (e.g. José, François, Khalid, Priya, Xiaoming).
Should I try to pronounce their name as close to the way they say it as possible, or should I say it in the way that's most natural to me?
