I assume it's rather an English accent than a general pronounciation, but that's probably better answered by someone who actually has spoken Esperanto already.
Shibo77 wrote:How would -ioj be pronounced?
In my mind the proper way is, cxiuj is "chi-woy/chi-uoj", while had it been cxioj, it would be pronounced "chi-oy". But since there isn't a "cxioj" (is there?), I pronounce cxiuj as "chi-oy". The -uj sounding exactly as how I pronounce a plural suffix, "pomoj". When I later heard the "chi-wi" pronunciation, I thought that was the proper way rather than "chi-woy/chi-uoj" or "chi-oy", because otherwise I found it difficult to distinguish my -oj and -uj endings, and also I think "chi-woy/chi-uoj" would be spelt as "cxiuoj" in Esperanto.

Lol, mi ekis lerni Esperanton ĉar mi volis scii kial neniu ŝatis ĝin. Nun mi tre ŝatas ĝin. Mi akordas ke Esperanto ne estas kiel lingvoj naturaj.
Lol, I started learning Esperanto because I wanted to know why no one liked it. Now I love it. I do agree that Esperanto is as good as natural languages.

In some time you'll come back to Esperanto.
They all do.
