hi bro, if Autobach is German, think the "au" is pronounced differently since it is a more "open" sound, and "bach" is almost pronounced like "bark" with a harsh ending sound. Can check with the German MCFers might know better. I gave back my german already. :-)

How do you pronounce this words?

 

1) Enkei

2) Autobach

 

1. En (as in end) - kay

2. Do you mean Autobacs? Then it's just Auto - backs

 

Tucson is Too-Sohn, NOT tuck-sen! And Trajet is Tra-jay

Prairie is p-rare-ry

It's something like 'pra-eh-ree' for Prairie, Tucson is not 'tuk-son', it's actually 'too-sohn', for a city in Arizona.

 

Can be quite confusing, but looking them up in www.dictionary.com sometimes helps! nod.gif
