OK, let's see... Nope, I can't find any English word that sounds like our E
and O.
The L is an L (on the tongue tip)
The E is not like lee, lemming, flea - maybe like beer? (But not quite, it's
longer and flatter (no diphthongs involved))
The G as in Good
The O is not like oh, good, god, order - maybe like goof? (-"-)
In Swedish we have these difficult (for other people) accents, the word LEGO
has sort of an accent both on the E and the O.
The Danish is probably quite like the Swedish (but completely impossible to
hear or understand, of course :-)

| (...) (nope) It does prompt me to ask something I've been curious about for a while, though...How is "LEGO" pronounced in different countries? I know that everyone I know here (in Canada) pronounces it 'lay go', and I suspect the same pronunciation (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)
