Kawser , sounds like " Kɑʊʃəʳ" in IPa. It’s a voiceless word that produce in velar with stops.

Some people do pronounce my name in a different way. Though I understand that is absolutely unintentional, it makes me feel weird when I think I got such a tongue twister name that nobody can pronounce it right. Sometime, I have to tell my name twice even three times when I introduce myself in public and, then I see some surprised face as they are thinking," wait, what did she just say?”But now I came to know that in some language, they don’t have the word for my name. Therefore, they are not familiar with my name’s sound. For example, Spanish American people will pronounce it as ‘ kausal’ “kaizer” as French and ‘cowser’ for Indian people. Actually it is an Arabic name which means a stream in heaven. So, I think those who cannot pronounce my name correctly, should listen to me very carefully first how I say my name and then try to follow the words sound.

Since English is my second language, sometimes I face the same problem about pronunciations. i have to think twice before I say something, especially before I call someone by name. I want to make it sure that I got it right. I always wondered why American people call ‘lisa’ as ‘liesa’ or ‘jose as ‘hose’ and ‘sugar’ as ‘chugar’ and so on. Now i know why and it makes me feel real good.
