What? Who says Fagita?

(click listen to hear the correct English pronunciation)

Are you ESL?

Some words when they get changed for English use keep the same spelling but change pronunciation (Brushcetta, Mexico). Some change both (As in my Germany/Deutchsland example) . And some don't change (fajita).
I really don't think this is that hard to understand.
