Fasulye is right, BaCH sounds like the Dutch G.
But there is a slight difference, indeed "BaCH" sounds a little bit different/softer than for instance "Gezellig" or "Goed". The CH from Bach goes on a little longer in the throat and it is a little softer. The Dutch G is a bit shorter, sharper and stronger. But the difference is not very big, very small actually! And as mentionend, in certain parts of Holland, like for instance Limburg, the G is much softer, they are famous for that. (De zachte G, the soft G). I think if you stick to the CH rule you'll sound very Dutch. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
