Pronunciation Guide

"But how do I say..?" 

First, let me say, local dialect is a thing. It's okay if you pronounce it slightly differently. And if my pronunciation guide makes no sense to your, there's the wonderful site toPhonetics embedded below, which will give you an audio pronunciation, which is frequently (but not always) decent. That said... here's The Guide.
