Very interesting subject! As I’m traveling more to Spanish speaking countries and taking classes on Italki, I’ve recently run into this conundrum. My name is Kathy, and I always run into questions about the pronunciation because of the “th.” So, I’ve decided to change it to “Kati” in spelling and when presenting myself. Muchisimas gracias por sus podcasts…los ecucho cada dia! Saludos desde Minnesota!! — Katie =)
