Saluton,

I am not actaully sure, 100 percent, how one is to pronounce "uj", and "eŭ".

Would someone clear this up for me? Using English examples if you would.

Dankon,
Carter

uj = phooey (pronounced quickly)

eŭ = "oh" said in a posh British accent

The other way to handle eŭ - I realized recently that my 3 year old nephew pronounces eŭ every time he says my name.

He can't quite get R right, so instead of calling me "Erin", my name ends up as "Ewin". That Ew sound (like Er in Erin, but with Ew instead) replicates the eŭ sound - "eŭin".

In English, of course, it comes out like "eh-win", but if you pronounce the ehw- part and stop before pronouncing the -in part, then you've got the sound of eŭ.
