Hallertau has always been a word I've wondered about howto say. Especially since there's a footballer now.

 

[MCWB]

The chemist in me cringes at the thought of calling it a-settle or a-see-tile! die Ass-set-Isle (ass pronounced as in 'mass') for me please. :beer:

 

[jayse]

Iam with ya mcwb, the ass part is as in mass...'die Ass-set-Isle ' that pretty much how it comes out my drunken mouth.

Nah, this has the accent on the 2nd syllable rather than the first (a-settle-ene, rather than ass-set-tile {'ass' as in 'mass'}). Another way of saying it (that my fiancee suggested) is like 'acetate', chop off the 'tate' and substitute 'tile'.
