    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.

          Yeah if I slow down and pronounce it with intention, they’re different. In normal speech though, it’s basically “jragon”

        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.
