Is it pronounced it New School?

If it isn't, I've been making a twit (Admin didn't like that word with an 'a' - I had no idea it was naughty :eek:) of myself! :eek::p

I thought it was "new shool" ?? That's how the ladies at the horse bit bank and the horse bit shop pronounced it.
Wouldn't worry though, it a funny word, it could be pronounced a hundred different ways! lol. Excellent bits though! xx

If you want to be pedantic about it, it's German and should be pronounced Noy-uh Shool-uh. But a bit like Peugeot and Michelin, we do tend to Anglicise these things to suit ourselves. I wouldn't worry about it!

Its German for "New School", which I think most people can work out. The correct pronunciation of the German words would sound like

Noya Shoola
