Mike Russell Webboard User Reg: 09-26-2001 Posts: 706 Loc: Offline	Dennis, that's about as close as you will get. I'll try to expand a little bit. The "i" is pronounced more like "ee", the "ch" is sort of a cross between "ch" & "ck" with a kind of flegmy type sound. These two examples below should get you a bit closer to proper pronunciation. Links = leenks (with majority of focus on the "leen" part) Rechte = reckta (with little focus on the "ta" part, almost as if it were an afterthought) Mike Russell BANNED FROM THE LEERBURG BOARD

If you add 'Seite' and say 'rechte Seite' it would mean 'right hand' and this would be ok. The correct way would be: left hand - links right hand - rechts 'links' you pronounce it like you would do in English - links. Like chain links. Just the same pronounciation. "rechts" is a little bit more difficult - it sounds like 'reckts'. You have to pronounce the 't' and the 's' and you are almost perfect.
