I usually pronounce it like "Bark", or rhyming with "Aardvark". Well, here you go: Quite different, he? |

So is it a bit like saying "Bah" but with a little more heavier emphasis on the "h", am I right? A bit difficult. Great channel, though. Lots of other words and names I could learn to say the proper way.  |

Lots of other words and names I could learn to say the proper way. this seems to be pretty difficult for you, as this is a "sound" which seems not to be present in the english languague at all... Depending on which other languages you might speak, maybe you can find a hint here as to how the Voiceless uvular fricative should be pronounced correctly. I think the french example might not be that good (although I only learned french for a few years in the eighties), but the first of the dutch ones seems very plausible to me. edit: the first spanish example "ojo" seems perfect. |

Thanks guys. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I suppose it is the same for Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. |

Correct! If pronounced your old way it would mean "A Little Nude Music" |

We don't have this sound in French. When we have to make a transcript of it from a language using a non-latin alphabet, the convention is to use " kh" (for instance, the Russian " x" - the cyrillic letter pronounced like the German " ch", not the Latin letter). Very few French people can pronounce " kh" correctly. |
