RE: A little offtopic question. How last names of Roberto, Luiz and Waldemar are pronounced?

[P.Gertman@...]

er... thank you :-). it is very nice, but i thought about last names, 
which are difficult to understand how to pronounce for a
non-portuguese-speaking (and reading)
person (like me). foof. what a long sentence.

	I'll try to hint you, as an exercise for me :-)

Lua -> Loo-ah
Luiz -> Loo-ees
Roberto -> Humm... Sounds like robbery minus -y plus -tou, but put an H 
instead of an R at the beginning :-)
Waldemar -> I think the English pronunciation is ok, only the W sounds 
like a V (as in German)
