But the product name isn't English, it's Esperanto. Most native English speakers won't have a clue how to pronounce it correctly, since /j/ in English is always produced like the "dg" in "edge", while in many European languages (including Esperanto) /j/ sounds like "y".
I only know how to pronounce it because I speak Esperanto. forĝejo is pronounced "forge" like the English word) + "ayo" (like the "ai" in "aim", plus the "yo" in "yo what's up".)
