A movie on Cúchulainn

[geala]

More like "koo khullin" with the "kh" sounding like the "ch" in the scottish "loch" but starting with a almost silent "k" sound (infact you could get away with just saying "koo hullin"). "khullin" should be said quickly with the stress on the first syllable.

Thanks. But I'm still a bit dazzled. Is "oo" differently spoken to "u"? Is it the English pronunciation what you mean? I don't think so, because "u" in English is mostly pronounced like the "a" in "are". Is "oo" more a long "o" or more like "ou" in "you" or "oo" in "cool" (which sounds like ou in you, both more or less a long "u" in German)? In German we pronounce the "u" like "ou" in "you" and the "ch" like in "loch", the "i" like an English "ee". So I would pronounce Cuchulainn now like Ku-(c)hu-linn (German pronunciation) or Cou-(c)hou-lin (English pronunciation).

It would be much more easy if the English speaking people would speak as they write.
