Pronunciation Guide
These are approximations of French and Dutch pronunciations. Note that each syllable of a French word receives equal stress. For Dutch words, accented syllables are shown in capital letters. The Dutch 'g' is difficult for English speakers to reproduce -- try forming a 'g' with the lips as you would in English, then bringing the tip of the tongue to the back of the front teeth before voicing the sound.
Recordings of the different pronunciations are available in wav format. To listen to the audio files,
