How to Say "Lebkuchen"

Say 'leb' like 'lab' but with a soft 'e' sound. Then say 'koo' as in 'cool' but with a shorter 'oo' sound. Finally, finish with 'khen' where 'k' is a hard sound and 'hen' sounds like the bird.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Many people mistakenly pronounce 'lebkuchen' as 'leeb-kitchen' instead of the correct sounds that emphasize a softer ending.
