I always go for:

Si like Spanish yes, and somewhat like the English letter C
the re like in prey
and the last r as in prey
just be sure to get a good r sound...

Well considering it is a German based company, the correct German pronunciation would be tseer-rer.

That's great, thank you...but how do I pronounce "tseer"? Ter-ceer?

I'm asking because I'm going to talk to them next week and I don't want to embarress myself.

I've always said "zeer-rah". I see The "Zier" part as in "tier" and pronounce it the same.

*tries to do what you've asked...*

...What? that doesn't make sense.

The "re" in prey sounds like "a". And I can't even work out how to separate the r.

**** dyslexia.

I always thought it was like Sierra but with a Z.

 

[jokerman]

It should be tseer-er

The "ts" at the beginning of tseer should be pronounced like any ts in English e.g. bets, lets, gets. Try adding a slight z tinge to it.

If that fails, I don't think they'd be too offended if you were to just use a z sound.

^^ It's really hard for me to explain to you lot. Swedish and German pronaunciations of letters are a more similar that the English equivalents. Might give another try to find words in English that have the sounds I'm after.
Your 'e' almost sounds like our 'i' so I have no real idea on how to describe our 'e' to you lot...

Damn you all, it would all be so much simpler if everyone spoke Swedish!!!!!

Posting on the go...

Otherwise loefet wouldn't have got mildly annoyed

But yes, thank you for you suggestions. You'll be pleased to know that I didn't speak to Zeer-rah because they looked too busy at EAS. Plus I more interested in tracking down Amanda Thompson for a photo to spite Ben.
