Pang-win

peng-win
I'm a Pangwin chick !! Go the Pangers!!!
pingwin of course
[peng-gwin, pen-] i think that your way is closer to the way it is supposed to be pronounced
p茅ng gwin
It is pronounced pen-guin. Or peng-gwin
pen-gwinn
pen-gwen
'pen-gwin'
( PAE-NG-WIN)
pen gwin
pen-g-win.
peng win

or if u prefer german pinguin
That is sort of a weird question but: pang-win...

Hope you make justice in the "war" hahaha
two ways as the spirit speaks--- pin or pen gwin
It's either pang-gwin or peng-gwin, or a sort of mix between the 2. Depends on the person's accent. It's definetely not ping-gwin though. Good luck in your pronunciation war.
All depends on where you come from here in Washington state it's: Pen gwen

It may be different in a different region of the world or even the United States. English is an ever changing language.
pein-guin
You pronounce penguin as if it were spelled like paingwin. Your girlfriend and her family may pronounce it like that because they have a bit of an accent but that may just be how they think it's supposed to be pronounced.
