Hello,
Last year, French TV reporters changed their pronunciation of Usain Bolt's name from üssain to üshain.
ANyone from Jamaica with an idea about the "right" pronunciation if any ?
Thanks !

Thanks, Hailay, .
I see you're an American in Hong Kong.
I'm wondering whether there would be some difference with "Jamaican English".
