But my parents were concerned that people would call me "Jan" (as in Murray or Brady). So they named me "Ian" instead - and I'll answer to "Ee-in" but not very comfortably. And would if I could get my umlaut back, too, and just be "Jan Schönherr".

I was taught to pronounce the umlauted ö this way: you shape your mouth like you'd be saying O, but actually say a long E. The sound doesn't actually appear in English, so the "er" and "ay" pronunciations are both not-so-close approximations. I think one does NOT break the "schön" into two syllables: "show-in". <br />You know it means "handsome man" right?<br /><br />Roger ReedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013153956426165732.post-30791488280246445322015-04-25T03:54:24.009-04:002015-04-25T03:54:24.009-04:00It is fascinating to see how the book cover evolve...It is fascinating to see how the book cover evolved!
