[Video] Erik: How to Pronounce Dutch Cubers' Names

[Fobo911]

Yay! Dutch lessons!

 

[Simboubou]

That is great !
I should do the same with french cubers. Who pronounce "Laetitia" correctly ?

 

[Sin-H]

Jaap Scherphuis and Guus Razoux Schultz are indeed horror!!!

This remembers me of Rama in Lyon 2007 when he thought that I was French, thus trying to pronounce my name French-like. That was awesome! like [ʃtøfõ ybɜʀ]
instead of simply [ʃtɛfɑn hubær]

Very useful, especially for us dumb Americans

And "François" ? The Spanish judges at EC were especially inventive at butchering my first name

 

[ImNOTnoob]

Well, i used to call him Erik Adderjknwhat.
No offence, though..

everyone forgets an N

 

[Swoncen]

[Unknown.soul]

Nice video Erik, very informative! I think I'll stick with my Englished-up pronounciations though >.<

 

[PeterV]

Erik, you missed me People are always pronouncing my last name (Verhoeven) incorrectly. Dutch cubers FTW!

[AvGalen]

Eriks English is horrible when he pronounces my name

 

[riffz]

I must say, I truly appreciated this video.

This is a very useful video. I had no idea how to pronounce Jaap Scherphuis.

I used to pronounce Akkersdijk wrong, (akk-ers-di-jike) but my friend pronounced it even worse. (akk-ers-d***)

 

[Rubiks_Lizard]

wow i was way off i thought it was erik akersgidrick
not to disrespect him

 

[mr.onehanded]

This is what I named my account after, I don't even practice OH. Rama should be honored.

This thread is a year old.

Why do some Dutch People have 'Van' as a middle name? What's it mean?
