Oops, that's a difficult one. I've been told that for non-native speakers
Chinese and Dutch are the most difficult languages to learn :-) But I'll try.
It is rather like 'kundugu' with the ''u'' 3x like in 'luck' and the 'g'
somewhere inbetween the Scottish English 'g', kind of rough back in the throat
and the Hebrew 'ch' as in 'chanooka'. (BTW my name has the same difficulties.)

Gonneke van Veldhuizen, who had a real good time in London, England years and
years ago, trying to teach the 'natives' in the pub (close to closing time) to
pronounce our names: Gonneke and Gijs van Veldhuizen.
