Recently Renee Price from Create It Kids asked me “How do you pronounce your Surname?”
It’s a Dutch surname that’s pronounced “Gizz-Burz”. The G is soft as in Go.
When my Opa (grandfather) came to Australia, immigration asked what his name was, and they wrote is as Gijsbers. It’s meant to be spelled with a y and an umlaut, however immigration spelled it with an i and j.
My father came to Australia when he was three and doesn’t speak much Dutch, I can’t speak any either.
