You have to be Dutch to get it right, but VikingZ  is close.

It's something like "vake on zee". To hear it, go to translate.google.com and type in Wijk aan Zee. Just below it is an icon that looks like a speaker. Click on that, and you will hear a Dutch speaker pronounce the phrase.

@baddagno is correct: Dutch is just about impossible to be spoken correctly except by a native Dutch speaker.

According to American actress Rebecca Romijn, who is of Dutch descent, her last name is pronounced "Romaine", like the lettuce happy.png

Wijk is pronounced like Dyke, but with a W. Aan is pronounced like he the end Swan, without the S and W. And Zee is pronounced like say. So basically Wyke (sw)an Say. Hope that makes sense lol.
