In some weeks I go for 10 days to Górowo Ilawecki (Landsberg) in Poland near the Russian border. The school there has won some kind contest that has to do with the european union and there will be several reporters (not regional, they said from Gazeta Wyborcza) and maybe television.
Because in this time the school has german exchange students, they´ll be probably interviewed and we have to tell something about the european union, one thing is, that we count the countries in the european union (and the countries that will become a member in the next years) in all the differnt languages. Ok, german, english, french, spanish, no problem, but the others are realy difficult.
So every student got 2-3 numbers and the languages and has to find out how to pronounce that himself.
I got Estland (16), Greece (15) and Hungary (22) and I have no idea how to pronounce that correctly in the the languages.
Because this board multicultural and multilingual I´m sure somebody can speak these languages (without a dialect) and could please tell me how to pronounce that, the best would be if he could upload/mail me a sample how it sounds.
Thank you very very much!!
Full Version: Need pronunciation of numbers for EU school projec
The number 15 in greek is pronounced : DEKAPENTE
all the "E"s are pronounced like the e in "error". Also the Delta in front should be (but usually is not by foreigners
) pronounced softly, so the first two letters DE, should sound like "the".

Estonian: 16 - kuusteist, (something like coo-oos-teist, i think)
'uu' is like double 'oo', 'ei' is like in 'tape', accent: first syllable.
So coo[l]-oo[p]s-ta[pe]-[te]st should sound pretty similar.

CORRECT!!!!!!
22 in hungarian is: huszonkettö;
'sz' is spelled 's', not 'sh', like in polish
ö is like 'oe' in goethe
The rest is close to the german equivalent.
