Sorry I just about never posted here xD I've had the computer taken away from meh, you see. Thanks for ALL the help, guys! I really appreciate it =3
I say it Sa-kur-a, and I think that's right because when I used to say it the other way I'd get the back of my head hit xD ( But hey, if you think that's bad I used to say Sasuke Sause-key. YES, YOU CAN ALL LAUGH! xD)
And oh, I think yaoi is yow-e

How do you say Sakura? Sometimes I hear people say it: Sa (short vowel) ku(long vowel?) ra(short vowel) and other times I hear it: Sa(short) kur (like a ker sound) a(short) and how do you say yaoi? Not Naruto...but hey when else can I ask it? xDD I hear people say it different all the time. e.e Is it Ya (Yow sound) oi (long e sound) Ya (long a like yay...) oi (long o) or Yaoi (Yow sound? xDD)
Sa-kur-ra is the AMERICAN way of saying it.
The correct pronounciation is, Sa-Ku-Ra. The first one you posted.
People tell me to say, YAH-OI. I always say it, YAY-OI. I need to work on that word. My friend, whi speaks some Japanese, says it, YAO-I but... Until they show me the, "Yao" symbol, I'll always be confused.

I say it Yow-e like Hoshiko blaugh
In Japanese it'd be spelt with three letters, YA - O - I ^^ But I'm not sure how they'd pronounce it ninja *ponders* xd I can't ask my teacher... she'll look at me weird eek
