Sumatra = soo-mah-trah

Toulouse = too-lose

Hova = hover

Brinsea = brin-see

Yokohama = yo-ko-harma

Well, this is how I say some of them...You have to take my Maine accent into account... There's probably a lot more  "R" in my pronunciation. big_smile

Lakenvelders...Lake-in-val-durs
Mille Fleur... Mill-Flurr, probably if it were pronounced properly in French, it would read Me-Flu...lol
D'uccle... Dee-yuck-el
