Re: And that darn dutch;-)

Hello Mary Anne,
My mother has never wanted to learn dutch (rather was never encouraged by my father); here is the alphabet the way they pronounce it. The "g" is a little difficult, but it's no problem.
In english...well "th" and "r" are no problems, except...when put together like "three"....Very tough!!
I was in the Grand Canyon in 1992 when I tried to make the americans (and the guide) pronounce the "u" our way...we had to laugh about it! It sounds so easy...but then..
