@ komi...

ah, ok... well, shouldn't they be able to pronounce it right, if they look up how?

In the dictionary?

Hangul - Dictionary definition and pronunciation - Yahoo! Education

English doesn't have the specific vowel that Korean has. So, no.

[komitsuki]

Well, it's an English-based dictionary... so it's okay to use an alternative pronunciation instead for Korean loanwords.

I keep emphasizing this because I've seen a lot of English-speaking people learning Korean and their immediate difficulty is the pronunciation of some vowels and consonants.
