Answer 1

If we were to stick to the classical Latin rules, we'd say "ray ghee na". But in such settings as the Coronation, the word is pronounced "ree-jyna", i.e. the traditional English pronounciation.

Answer 2

Hi Reggie --say 'Regina' like this
"ree" In English grammar we describe this as an R followed by a 'soft' E.
Next, your GI is almost a J sound, like this "Jeye" (with the 'eye' like the eye you are using to read this, (the first E of the eye being pronounced as an 'I' sound, so you get j-iye.
Finally, NA is two hard sounds. Try saying 'nnnaaa' very fast.
Hope that helps
