Simply, the way my first teacher taught it to me.
In the second year I got a new teacher, who pronounced
some sounds differently. So I thought "whoops!" and read
up on the matter. Found out there's a lot of disagreement,
but also that it really doesn't matter, as long as you're
consistent.

In the case of ON or OI, I go for Modern Icelandic
pronounciation, because then it's easy to be consistent.
RP is difficult because the languages are too similar,
and you constantly forget yourself. This would also happen
to someone who first learned ON and then became familiar
with Icelandic.
