When I learned Dutch to be ready for a fortnight holiday motorcycling
round Holland, the textbook told me to pronounce Dutch "w" with the
upper lip and the lower lip and the lower front teeth all three
together, like saying [v] and [w] both at the same time.
But books can be wrong; my textbook said that Dutch "ui" is pronounced
[öü], but the pronunciation that I heard in Holland (mostly around
the IJsselmeer, but I went further south sometimes) was [aü].
