British English pronunciation.

What is correct way to say One Direction? It �s the name of the group my pre-teens love.
Is it /dɪˈrekʃ(ə)n/ or /daɪ �rekʃ(ə)n/ ?
Thanks! |

Both are correctly, but if you prefer British Englishyou can say
daɪ �rekʃ(ə)n/ . |

Thanks a bunch for your replies.
These guys are really helping my students learn English! I wanted to make sure I was pronouncing the name of the group correctly. I speak American English but, since the boys are British, the name of their band is definitely the second option: wuhn /daɪ �rekʃ(ə)n/
Thanks again! |
