ArchivesRosaline
I'm currently working on "Romeo and Juliet," and my teacher continually pronounces Rosaline as "Ross-a-line." I always assumed that it was "Rose-a-leen." Was the name originally pronounced as my teacher pronounces it, or am I making a mistake?
Anna Bella: Victoria, do you have soy sauce?
Me: Right, of course Anna Bella. Here's that random packet of soy sauce I just HAPPEN to keep in my purse!

In Shakespeare, Rosaline is pronounced RAHZ-a-line. Your teacher is saying it right, only the "s" sound is actually a "z" sound.
Also, the traditional English pronunciations of Rosalind and Rosamund are RAHZ-a-lind and RAHZ-a-mund.
P.S. The short "o" sound isn't exactly like "ah" but it sounds the same in my accent.
