a language lesson - the real, true pronounciation

I decided to stop into a juice bar on my way to work a few weeks ago. The business is called Liquiteria and they make the absolute best smoothies. The downside is they cost nine dollars - before tax! I only allow myself to get one a week, but I think about getting one every day. They are the greatest smoothies on earth and are full of more than just fruit. The one I love most contains blueberries, mango, vanilla almond milk, orange juice, ginger, vitamin c, and raw coconut sugar. It also contains acai. It took me a few years to learn how to say it properly and it was actually my husband that corrected me. It is NOT pronounced "ah-kai". It is pronouced "ah-sah-EE" or "ah-sai-EE". Please tell your friends. It is painful to constantly hear people getting corrected. I have to laugh too, because I have been so proud of myself for not falling for any of those five dollar specialty coffee drinks, but alas I am now (borderline) addicted to nine dollar smoothies. The good thing is they share their ingredient list, so with a little motivation I should be able to make myself one of these each and every morning, if I please. Will it taste the same though?!
