They probably pronounce sudoku in their local accent though, you would sound
a bit weird and out-of-place if you tried to sound exactly like a Japanese
person saying it outside of Japan.
So what you're really trying to explain to people is that the Japanese Su/Ku
letters rhyme with the English words "do" and "to", and the Japanese Do
rhymes with a quickly spoken "saw" (OK those might not be the only or most
accurate English words, but you get the idea). If you pronounce the words
to/do/saw differently, then chances are everyone is going to pronounce
sudoku differently anyway, so you'll be fine.
