One of my ex-girlfriends was half Greek. Every now and again she'd say an English word that she'd clearly read, but never heard, so she pronounced it as if it was a Greek word.
Was quite fun sometimes, trying to reverse engineer the pronunciation in your head in order to work out what the word was, fast enough to not derail the conversation.
