This is an educational video to all the newsreporters in the world that are trying to report from the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland ;)

Eyjafjallajökull (pronounced [ˈɛɪjaˌfjatlaˌjœkʏtl̥], translated "island mountain glacier")

Ey - ja - fja - lla - jö - kull
Aye - ya - fyah - dla - jow - kudl

For some more funnies.. the New York Times asked a few bypassers to pronounce "Eyjafjallajökull" for them. Those are the results:

    The only thing from Iceland you need to know how to pronounce correctly is "Jonsi"

    The pronunciation is just difficult because all of the stress is on the first syllable, so it's more like EY-afyadlayookudl than ey-ya-fyad-la-yoo-kudl.

    That being said, I would totally watch a show that was just English-speakers trying to pronounce Icelandic words.
