MaI neIm Is!!!!

  For the Linguists, there wont be a problem pronouncing my name for it's such an easy name : Carlos
We start by saying the sound of the C which in this case  is the onset -V, velar, stop, with a rhyme of a low back vowel followed by the +V, alveolar, liquid  r "kar" then is the voiced, alveolar liquid with a rhyme of a mid back vowel and the voiceless, alveolar fricative  s  "los".. It looks like this [Karlos]
  Now, for the non-linguists, this is how they should go about it : start by placing the back of your tongue on the back top of the mouth   then release the air (this is called a stop) and place the front tip of the tongue behind the top front row of teeth  "Karrrrr"  followed by the sound "los"
