I say Sakura as Sa (short vowel) ku(long vowel) ra(short vowel)

I say Yaoi as Ya (Yow sound) oi (long e sound)

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
