Just wondering. I pronounce it with a long O. Is "bah ker" correct? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay
 
Say BERKER and at the first ER, round your lips. That's how it's said with the two Dots over the O.

That's pretty much it. The Umlaut (2 dots over the vowel) is difficult for most native English speakers. :foot: Imagine the word spelled as: "Boeker" and round the lips a bit as Lycosa recommends. When typing on a keyboard without an Umlaut, it is permissible to add an "e" after the vowel w/ the Umlaut.
 
Rugger ---- ask an English teacher, I'm a knife knut!! jk! I can't answer that question, sorry.

Ohh Man we had this thread last summer but i just can't find it anymore . Guess Terry and Tobias get the same feelin... lol.. It is to hard to explain for a dutch/german fella to a not native german/dutch speeker English/US fella....
Sorry :o
 
I lived in Germany for almost5 years- just long enough to get familiar w/ pronunciation. Dialects are another story altogether...
