how to pronounce cajun

i have been making a conscious effort to avoid fast food ... or fast food chains to be more specific ... like mcdonalds and kfc and burger king and so forth ... except for subway and little caesars ... because those are good ... but i get sick of eating the same things over and over ... you only have so many options ... so today while driving home i saw a sign advertising a new sandwich at mcdonalds ... so i was like ok ... i didn't catch the name but i noticed the word cajun on there ... so i was like ok i'll eat that today ... so i went to the drive-thru and the guy opened the window ... he was a saudi ... yes saudis work at mcdonalds believe it or not ... so i told him biddi wa7de min hai il jdeede il cajun ... and i pronounced it correctly ... cajun ... rhymes with mason ... he's like eeh tagsid il kajoon ... rhymes with ma3joon ... i was like ah hiye hai ... and in case you were wondering the sandwich wasn't that bad ... it's the mcarabia but with cajun sauce ... but i won't get it again ... i just wanted to try something new ...

You pronounced it the right way..
Drive-Thruهلأ الموظف إلي بكون على ال
أنا متأكده إنو ما بكون بسمع بوضوح.. عشان في دوشه الشارع وكمان المطبخ.. فيمكن ما سمع أو حتى مافهم إنت شو بدك.. منيح إلي قدرت تتفاهم معاه بالإشارة :)
صراحة هدا الموضوع مش بس موجود بالسعوديه.. يعني أبسط مثال لماً كنت بالجامعة الأردنية.. كان في كشك عالبوابة الرئسية وكنت أيام الصيف أطلع اشتري من عندو سلش
فكانت لماً أحكيلو لو سمحت واحد سلش ما كان يفهم فكنت أحكيلو من هاد وأأشر عليه فيفهم ويعطيني..
هلأ مكن السبب إنو عشان هوة عمو كبير.. وممكن برضو عشان هو أول مرة يبيع هدا المنتج.. وممكن برضو عشان ماحد علمو اسمو .. ففي كتير أسباب.. وبالنهايه الحمد لله الإشارة بتمشي كل المواضيع..
