Jeroen Doumen dropped by the other day and was kind enough to give me a 2-minute Dutch lesson. Jeroen co-owns and design games at Splotter and co-designed Pandemic: Rising Tide.

If you'd like to try pronouncing a few of these for yourself, I've listed some of the more challenging titles below. I especially enjoyed watching our playtesters invent their own "house pronunciations" as we developed the game.
