How do you Europeans. . .
. . . pronounce "Europe"? There's a French exchange student in one of my classes, and she says it "Ooh-rope". I don't know if that's just her accent, because she sounded surprised when other people said it "Your-ope".

Same, but that rup is pronounced more like roup; ie, it isn't a 'hard' u if you know what I mean. Which you probably don't.

How do we pronounce it?
We write it Eurooppa (with double o).
I'm finding it hard to describe how to pronounce it. Finnish pronouncing is so much different from English.
