I think it's spellt as Dziahileva!

I say Dzzzzhhhhi-hil-lyeva.

It's very Russian I must say, esp. the first "Dzzzzzzzhi" sound. :blush:

:heart: Tanya!
If you say so. I'm not russian, I spelled it like we (bosnians) would say it, and my language is similair to russian:p

I say Roach-a. I'm pretty sure that's right...?
Unless it's a French Canadian surname. If it is, it would probably be pronounced Ro-SHA.

^What about the last names?

They didn't say, but I would assume that Franke would be pronounced with a silent e (Frank, not like the name with a short a, like the former French monetary unit), and that Stange would be pronounced with a short a and silent e as well. :flower:

I'm pretty sure it's Dey-wi Dree-gan.

What about Agyness? :huh:
I guess she is hungarian, then it would be sth. like Au-dsch-ness or just like Ah-gnes... I'm not sure though

How do you pronounce Dewi Driegen?

You should pronounce Dewi like Davy, but then replace the v with a w. And Driegen... well Drie is pronounce Dree and -en is pronounced uhn. The -g- is something else... very hard to explain to a non-Dutchy. It's like the ch in Jiddish mesjpoche (which means family)... yeah sounds kinda vague :p

Here is a blog about Dutch pronounciation... search for a 'g' and listen to how it sounds. Hopefully it'll make it clearer for you ^_^

I think I know what you mean.
It probably sounds similar to the "r" sound in French.
