Went to the US Embassy for a visa to visit a couple of friends over there. when asked where I was going, I replied San Jose, the immigration officer quickly corrected saying San Jose is pronounced San Hosay J is pronounced H in the US and that it was the Spanish way of pronouncing J as in Julio(Hulio)
So how long will you be staying in San Jose..?
I said 7 months; from Hanuary to Huly... * +

San Jose is pronounced San Ho-zay but Americans speak English, or a slightly bast*rdized version of it at least, so to say that 'J is pronounced H in America' is incorrect. The English language is very fluid and often absorbs words(in this case, a name) from other languages, in the case of names and places the original language's pronunciation is usually appropriated as well, although it may be adapted to fit english speech patterns. * +
