Default How do you say.....

I am curious about the pronunciation of two brand names.RO_JA and Zauber.I was convinced that they are pronounced how they look, but a friend tells me otherwise.He says RO_JA is pronounced like ROHA the J becoming an H sound.Does anyone know for a fact which way it is? Also i heard a salesman at a local wheel store pronounce Zauber like Zoober, this isnt correct is it?Someone let me know if I have been making a fool of myself by pronouncing them the wrong way

Default Zauber pronunciation

Zauber appears to be a German word or name, even if made in Japan, and in Germany it woud be (phonetically) "tsowbair" with the accent on the first syllable. In the USA, probably Zowber.
