This is kind of off-topic, but as a non-German person, if I pronounce the German brand with the correct German pronunciation in an otherwise English conversation, is that considered pretentious, respectful, or tryhard?
I wonder if as a person speaking North American English it's better to stick with the North American accent. I'm sure Germans pronounce North American brand names in German accents.

Interesting, while we don't say them the correct German way either, our British English pronunciations are on average a little bit closer to the native ones.
Wrongly.
Language is a lot less precise than this in reality...
Pronouncing a word in a language other than the one the word came from doesn't make you wrong. I can appreciate the native pronunciations but I think saying a word according to what is more widely used and understood wherever you are is more 'correct' than saying it how you would where it came from. Probably sounds irritating to a native speaker but it's kind of a reality globalization.
