My natine language is of german origin as well, but I never guessed how
to pronounce Ljungskile, nor can I pronounce it properly.
The same goes for Roskilde in Denmark and Kirkeness in Norway. And to add
a few, how about the proper way to pronounce Copenhagen and Gotenburg.
I will leave Scheveningen, Schoorl and Schoonhoven as an excersize for you.
I have no problems with Leicester, Worchester an Reading. ;)
