How do you pronounce the word Weltje?

"Weltje" is a Dutch word, and its pronunciation is a bit tricky for English speakers. Here's how to break it down:

* Wel: The "w" sound is similar to the English "w" in "wet."

* tje: This part is a little tricky. The "t" is pronounced with a slight aspiration, almost like a "th" in "thin" but less pronounced. The "je" is pronounced like the "y" in "yes."

So, the full pronunciation is something like: "velt-yuh"

Important Note: The "e" at the end is a very short, almost silent vowel. The emphasis is on the first syllable ("wel").
