Saying his name like “girdle”, is the closest English pronunciation I’ve seen.
The actual German ö is hard for me to figure out without having a native speaker around to practice with.
- adzm 6mo agoI try to explain it as trying to shape your mouth as if you were saying e but say o instead.
- srcreigh 6mo agoThe “l” is just as hard to pronounce correctly. English has a very nasal “l” compared to german. Try saying English “hell” but dragging out the “l” (“helllllllll”); very nasal.

- tmtvl 6mo agoI'd say it's like the 'u' in 'hurt'.
