Default Kaleun pronunciation?

For some reason i really like this word, and would like to be able to say it correctly. Anybody got any help here?

This game is making me want to learn German!

caloin - while you say the 'ca' like in the british pronounciation of "can't"
A good way to learn it is also to get the "Das Boot" DVD edition with german and english audio.

Cheers from Germany

"leun" as in "loin"

Sounds about right.

In theory it should be "ka" as in the German word Kapitän but that doesn't help much if you're unfamiliar with German to begin with.

@ Gargamel: I concur that the easiest way to learn it is just to watch Das Boot with the original German dialogue, you will hear "Herr Kaleun" so much you'll have it down in no time.

Or, um, just select German voices in your game? Your crew will say "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun" every time you give an order. Unless you've modded that out.

Alternately you could look in your game folder for the speech files and find the right one and just play it over and over.
