ye-rewn fan der fear/van der fare


Explanation:
without the IPA, it's virtually impossible to give a clear indication of how to pronounce it. I am using English as a base, which assumes you know English pronunciation well.
Your best bet is to HEAR it from a native Dutch speaker and transcribe it yourself.
Good luck.

to help, the rewn rhymes with \'moon\' or \'spoon\'.

j..'ru:n fon de..r fi..r


Explanation:
Using the ASCII Phonetic Alphabet (see link below), the pronunication could be represented as:

j..'ru:n fon de..r fi..r

The value of the letter v in 'van' and 'veer' is somewhere between the English v (voiced) and f (unvoiced) sounds. Erring towards unvoiced will give the best result. The vowel in 'van' is much like o in âîäà.

Oops! The Cyrillic characters might not be displayed properly. If you see a jumble of letters (e.g. \'âîäà\') on the last line of my initial post, it\'s meant to be the Russian for water. Let\'s say instead:

The vowel in \'van\' is much like o in \'voda\'.
