Is there anyone on here who speaks Japanese who could tell me how to pronounce the name Naoe?

I’ve tried google translate, but it says it too fast. Any help would be very appreciated. The name is of the main character of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Ah, "Naoe" is quite a beautiful name! In Japanese, it's pronounced as "Nah-oh-eh." Each syllable is pronounced clearly and separately, almost like a gentle flowing rhythm. Imagine you're saying "nah" like in "nacho," followed by "oh" as in "open," and finally "eh" like the "e" in "bet." So, it’s "Nah-oh-eh." 🎌✨

If you watch enough anime or Japanese movies, you’ll start catching on to these little nuances. And trust me, it makes the name sound even more enchanting when you get it just right! 🌸🎬

The a. i. got it right but I would add that cadence is of fundamental importance to the Japanese language. Don't blur vowels together. You have to pronounce each one with the same amount of time given to every other syllable.

Yeah, Japanese is a very tricky language to learn. I’ll think on what you said, thanks.
