A pronunciation is how someone says a word or name correctly. It's like their special way of saying it.

You hear people talk about pronunciation all the time - especially when it comes to names or words that are tricky to say. Like, have you ever noticed how some actors' names are hard to pronounce for non-native speakers? Maybe it's because they come from a different culture where sounds and letters are used differently. In general, people might ask you to repeat your name so they can learn its pronunciation. This means they want to hear how you say it correctly.
