Pronunciation of d'Ooge
I am using Wheelock as my main source for learning Latin and d'Ooge as a backup. As a sad person, I wondered how to correctly pronounce d'Ooge. Some phonetic help please?

Pronunciation of d'Ooge
There is always the chance that Mr B.L. d'Ooge americanised the pronunciation of his name to something like "dooj", but the Dutch pronunciation (courtesy of Mr Miek-de Vos of the Dutch Embassy) is as follows:
Dough - ch - u
Dough (as in bread) - ch (as in loch in Scotland) - u (as in surname)
Hope this helps.
Dough - ch - u
Dough (as in bread) - ch (as in loch in Scotland) - u (as in surname)
