SOMETHING LIKE `NURN-BAIRK'?  AND `FURRD' (WITH A VERY SHORT
UR AND WITH
AN `R' THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A MOUTH FULL OF CHEWING
GUM).

HTH, BUT I FIGURE PEOPLE ALREADY TRIED TO TEACH YOU ;)

OUCH!  BUT THIS IS COMPLETELY DUE TO YOUR PRONUNCIATION. 
THERE IS AN
AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN `BURG' AND `BERG' (IN GERMAN) YOU
CAN EVEN
MAKE OUT THROUGH THE WORST MOBILE-PHONE CONNECTION WHILE
STANDING NEXT
TO A STARTING JET ENGINE.

`BOORK' VS. `BAIRK' OR SOMETHING.
