Japanese pronunciations are relatively easy.

Tein = tayn
Bride = b(u)reed(o)
5Zigen = go-zeegen

What's real fun are some of the German names. Ruf (Porsche tuner), Abt (VW tuner), and Ate (brakes) are actually all names, not acronyms, pronounced roof, ahbt, and ah-tay respectively. I hear so many people say "ay bee tee" or "ay tee ee"...

greddy = "GREDD-EE"... from their site "The name is derived from the joining of two words, "Great" and "Eddy". "Great" - meaning above average; mighty, intense, superior in quality. "Eddy" - meaning swirling motion, whirlpool, hurricane.
