supergirljennie said:Santoku is actually pronounced: Sawn - TOE - koo, emphasis on the middle
I asked my brother, who is a Junior in college with a Japanese Major, and he said that is the correct way. So there you go!
Also, it is "grwee-yare." With the u, you take your lips and make an "oo" shape, then say "ee". I'm a French major. Gruyere is true Swiss cheese made is Switzerland; we in America just call any cheese with holes in it Swiss.
And info from the net: aioli - ay-oh-lee
Sorry if I'm annoying, but I hope that helps! I'm really picky when it comes to language, as I speak (with varying degrees of fluency) English (duh), French, Spanish, German, and Italian. Good luck with everything!

Here's one.
Asiago cheese.
I work at Panera bread (for now) and we pronounce it short a A see A go
with 4 syllables and a hard g.
But Rachelle Ray said the other day....Asee a go with a soft g and and the accent on the second syllable.
