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/ ?
 
HeartThanks!

Thumbs Up 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!
