Jeroen would be in English Yeroon
Yves is pronounced in the French way thus Eave
Sluijter I can't really explain because the sound in Dutch is very distinctive and i don't know anything similar in English
Huts is pronounced the same is it would be in English
Yves is pronounced in the French way thus Eave
Sluijter I can't really explain because the sound in Dutch is very distinctive and i don't know anything similar in English
Huts is pronounced the same is it would be in English
or 'Slowter' is right?
Is Yves pronounced (in English way) like 'eve'?
Is Yves pronounced (in English way) like 'eve'?
yes, as in eavesdropper without the 'dropper' and the 's'.
Menke, thanks a lot!
I found that 'uij' is sound like 'ow', but also somewhat like 'iy' or 'oy'; e.g. Wieland Kuijken mp3 -> http://www.math.nyu.edu/~wendlc/pronunciation/sounds/kuijken.mp3
may I pronounce Sluijter like Slyoiter???

I think that's close enough, i listened to the sample, it's too much an English pronunciation, it's a more open sound than that. Therefore i made my own sound sample, with the Dutch words ui ("onion"), sluijter (your surname), huis ("house") and tuin ("garden"). Maybe this clears it all up.
