Some Key Points to Remember:
1) Be confident. If you sound like you know what you are doing people will accept your pronunciation as authoritative, even if you are technically wrong. Choose a way to say your words and say them with confidence. This table of pronunciations is to help you achieve that confidence. If you say “fry GY uh” instead of “FRIDGE ee uh” but say it with authority, everything will still be fine.
2) Remember that anyone who is thinking about your pronunciation at all is probably glad that you are reading these names instead of them. They respect you for having the courage to even try. Be courageous! Feel respected!
3) Most importantly, how you do or don't pronounce Bible names does not affect the Holy Spirit's ability to work through scripture. The important thing is that we read scripture at all. Trust the Spirit to work through the Word, and you and it will.
