    My 6th grade science teacher interrupted me while reading aloud after I correctly pronounced “tsunami”. He goes “What’s that?..tuh-soo-mee?”. I said Yeah, he spends 10 seconds digesting it, and I continue reading aloud.

    The next kid to read after me pronounced it tuh-soo-mee.

      I only pronounced つなみ like that with a t when I was young and first came across the word but then I learned the correct pronunciation
