Stall-vill. Remember, Germans pronounce the "w" as a "v."

ETA: I just saw that y20dth is in Germany. I'll defer to his pronunciation.

I think the S at the start would have more of an SH sound. Sort of like 'stall', but instead it's 'shtall'. And I believe the H means you drag the A sounds out more. So kind of like 'shtaal' and the 'ville' part would be like 'will', with nothing dragged out. So 'shtaal will' is the probably incorrect way I would say it.

Yeah, where's Monte when you need him? Making more awesome youtube videos maybe.........

Correct pronunciation would be Shtaal-vil-eh.

The s would indeed be close to sh in english. I wrote the last sillable as eh, but the sound would be close to the sound of the e in the english word met.

Another common mistake by Americans is Porsche. Many leave out the last sillable which is the same as Stahlwille.
