A Quick Overview Of Verecht
How to pronounce Verecht
The pronunciation of Verecht is straightforward except for the minor detail of the 'ch' and the 'r' which most English speakers struggle with. The 'ch' sounds like the 'ch' in 'loch' - it's a guttural sound made in the back of the throat, and the 'r' is rolled in the back of the throat.
You sound a little ridiculous rolling the 'r's in English, but if you can get the 'ch' right, then do so. If you cannot get it right, it is perfectly acceptable to substitute a 'k' sound for the 'ch' sound. It's not 100% perfect Dutch or German pronunciation, but it's close enough.
If you spell it Vereckt, then you don't worry about the guttural 'ch' sound - pronounce it with a 'k'.
