Pretend like you're french: j'ragon. It's the second G in garage or however you would say au jou sauce.
eta: if you're pronouncing dragon and jragon the same, I'm really concerned and alarmed.
In most Americans accents I think "Dragon" and "Jragon" would be indistinguishable.
I was so fucking confused until I tried saying it out loud. I'm so startled and impressed
Yeah if I slow down and pronounce it with intention, they're different. In normal speech though, it's basically "jragon"
I grew up in the Appalachian and it isn't the same in my accent.
Absolutely not. Am American, so I'm gonna go on a limb and assume most of my friends would also probably pronounce it similarly.
The way you say Jra-gon and Dra-gon is completely different in most accents on the West coast. I'm very confident in that.
I think the Midwest would probably say it pretty samsies because they're not emphasizing the first letter: jRa-gun / dRa-gun or jra-Gn / dra-Gn. Probably gets lost in the sauce a little.
Idk about East Coast, but tbh it probably is closer to Midwesterners dropping consonants and shit so who knows.
West-coaster here. They’re definitely two completely different pronunciations.
I'm a Midwesterner living on the east coast so that's entirely possible.
French would be like /ʒragon/ and English would be /dʒragon/
It was more like "french" how Americans think french is, sadly not actual french. It was to overemphasize the starting sound, since sometimes it's hard to isolate sounds and move them around like that (mouth position wise) when you don't commonly have other words that start with those sounds.
