I still learned more from your site about how to pronounce Chinese <zh> than I knew before, and it's not as though I've never attempted to pronounce names containing it. :-)

Oh, I definitely didn't notice that. I guess I'd like to suggest that you require users to indicate it, again thinking about a name like Jan that could easily start with three drastically different consonants depending on what language it's in!

I know there's something about <rz> in Polish that I don't expect, but I also don't know what it is!
Yeah, that's a great example of how this could be useful. My intuition from English is like [ɡɝ'zɛɡɔɹz] which, now that I've listened to a Polish recording, is really really really far off. Even "Maciej" would have given me trouble before I'd heard people talking about Maciej Ceglowski.
