Oh, I just love sentences like:
"Gijs is een eigenwijze eigenheimer"
Especially when you ask an englishman to pronounce it :-)
In addition, I am still not sure how many of the phonetic charcters are
pronounced. If have been trying to find out physically, but my parents
almost called the guys with the straightjackets to come and pick me up for
the weird sounds I was producing.
I want to be able to translate sentences from Dutch, English or just sounds
I think of into phonetic spelling. Does anyone know of a resource on the net
were I could get more info on the pronounciation of these?
