For a native English speaker the pronunciation of the word as "chris" is completely OK.

I'm Taiwanese Ameican, and I can speak English just fine, or Mandarin just fine... and I'm losing my fluency in Taiwanese.. but yes, pretty much the same thing... sometimes certain accents and sound just flow better with certain languages!
