Hello,
I have the advantage of a native language in which almost everything is pronounced the way it is written, unlike in English. Also some Latin classes. I believe the correct pronounciation would be:
A -like in Anna
POP- like in soda pop
TO- like in stop
SIS- like in sister
with accents on A andTO. Does it make any sense? There is an international alphabet for correct sounds but I do not believe I could make my computer produce the symbols.
