Geert Spillebeen: Hello, my name is Geert Spillebeen. I live in Flanders, that's in Belgium, between Holland and France. My first name, Geert, is derived from Gerard or Gerry. It starts with a "k" which sounds almost like "ch" at the end of the Scottish loch. Then the double E sounds like the long A in April, or A like in page. Geert. So after the double E, you add a nice rolling "r r r" and a "teh", Geert.
My surname or my family name is pronounced as follows, Spillebeen.
Try something like Geert Spillebeen.
