Just call it Sock Jenn.

Also depends on if you are interview in an English-speaking country or in Paris.

Also, it's not Kray-dit, it's Credit Agree-call. Short E sound. Although you will technically still say it wrong because you will need the french R to make it sound authentic.

Its "cre-dee a-gree-col". But I agree that you will pronounce it wrong anyway.

I was fairly certain that the vowel starting the next word leads to a "liaison" where the final consonant of the previous word (in this case a "t") is pronounced.
