How do you pronounce "Kurbe" as in the city Kurbe in Latvia?

Answer 1

You can see Latvian pronounciation here:
http://www.cusd.claremont.edu/~tkroll/EastEur/lat-pron.html

thus you would pronounce K,urbe as:
K, - like t in tune
u - like u in put
r - like german r (trilled)
b - pronounced as in English
e - short: like e in let

You have to use the short e in this word, not the long e.

Also, K,urbe isn't a city, it's a village.

If you need to know the pronounciation of any other Latvian words, I will be glad to help.
