What kind of cookie?

It was about time I changed this.

My L1 is Spanish and I say [e.a] all the time. If you have trouble, you can insert a semivowel, that's up to you.

If there is one syllable it's [jan], and [ɛ.an] if there are two. [ɛ.an] is more likely though.

(Edit: Okay I was talking about in Iaskyon :roll: It's [ɛən] if I do it normally)

You should be using [], not //. Also Japanese /r/ is definitely not [ɭ]. [ɾ], [ɺ], [r] are all possibilities, but not [ɭ]. [ɛ, æ, ɔ] are also odd choices.
