Smile How Do You Pronounce 'Klasse'?
I've heard a few different pronunciations. What's yours? Please let us know if you speak German or have some other useful credentials in the area.

I've always pronounced it like "Classy" as in "you are a classy person"

I prefer "klah-zey". Or "klahhz-eh". Depends on where you put the emphasis, before or after the Z.

I honestly don't think it's "class" or "classy". Those just don't work with European accents.

Say the word while doing your best Col. Klink imitation and you'll be close.
