Japanese is actually pretty easy to pronounce syllable by syllable (syllables are always said the same way). It is just that some of the syllable combinations are tricky for english speakers to spew out quickly. Also.. depending on the particular japanese accent, some syllables get slurred a bit (like
sukiyaki coming out
s'kiyaki for example).
Utawarerumono (oo-tah-wah-ree-rue-moe-noe) requires some practice to say smoothly
(its actually a bit of a compound word to express a more complex concept).
