Pronunciation: It would be impossible to adequately express, in text, the correct pronunciation of the phrases below, so to avoid being misinterpreted by the old woman at the bus stop, can we suggest you use the printable version to break the ice on your next train journey and have a local talk you through the correct pronunciation? And if they suggest any useful phrases, let us know and we'll add them to the list.
