How to pronounce these words?
Some people are pronouncing /ʃ/ instead of /s/ in words like cerruti, monsoon, and swarovski. So what is the right pronounciation is it the /ʃ/ or /s/.
Thank you.

There's an audio pronunciation of (Nino) Cerruti here with [s], Designer Labels. I've also heard it pronounced with ch, as in church, never sh.
Monsoon, as in the weather kind, [s].
Swarovski, as in a last name, [s] and sh.

Thank you Casiopea. But I didn't get the last one. I mean the first /S/ should we say /Sw/arovski or /Sh/warovski.

You're most welcome, and both [s] and sh.
