Hello Hirano-San, unfortunately I don't use phonetic alphabet and don't know how to speak out "Koper", but I can tell you how to pronounce Capodistria (actually it means Capo d' Istria, or rather Cap of Istria). Capodistria: Ka (like in Ka zunari ;-) ) po, like in "porridge" di, like a short dee in english, stria, like str with a sweet Italian rolled "r" and ia like AndalusIA . I think , but I'm not sure that there is some tonic accent on Istria...
Hope this helps, Charles.
