How do you pronounce "Wijngaarden" (as in Adriaan van Wijngaarden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriaan_van_Wijngaarden))?

Dutch != Swedish

and I would assume "Wine Garden". "Mijn" in Dutch (English: My) is pronounced "Mine".

I'm bi-lingual (not bi-sexual) so I want a try at this.
I would think you would pronounce it like this: "Vanharten"

Vanharten sounds good to me.

I couldn't really think of a way to type out how it sounds so I just recorded it.
