    Does “Neuschwanstein” count? As in the castle in bavaria. Because I find it amusing how native english speakers just stumple over the pronounciation. Also “Gesamtkunstwerk” because it seems kinda superflous.

        not quite, but close :D

        “Neu” is pronounced like “noi” as in noise rather than “new”. “Shwan” is great. Just keep in mind, the “a” is quite elongated. “Stein” is close to “styne” but in german “st” often creates a “sht”-sound. It’s quite subtle. So I guess shtyne?

        So all together that would be Noi-shwan-shtyne. What an abomination to look at. One of the harder words to get right for sure xD
