Maybe you should write those words on a piece of paper rather than use those strange phonetic words I've just seen ... because in Belgium some people speak French, others Dutch and others German ... Good luck if you don't pronounce the word properly. Just write it down and ask someone to say it loud for you. It might be easier !

fish = poisson / vis
Egg = oeuf / ei
Vegetarian = Vegetarien / Vegetarier
