Oliver Grassl: /ˈɒlɪvə ˈɡræsəl/ (IPA)
Oliver: /ˈɒlɪvə/ - This represents a common English pronunciation. The "O" is a broad "O" sound as in "hot," the "l" is a clear "L," the "i" is a short "i" as in "pin," the "v" is a voiced "V," and the "er" is a schwa sound followed by a short "uh." Variations might exist depending on regional accents. For example, some might pronounce the "v" as a "w" sound.
Graßl: /ˈɡræsəl/ - This is a more challenging name due to the "ß" (eszett). The "ß" is typically pronounced as "ss" in German, resulting in a "s" sound. Therefore, the name is phonetically similar to "Grassl." The "G" is a hard "G" as in "go," the "r" is a alveolar "r" (the sound made by vibrating the tongue against the alveolar ridge), the "a" is a broad "a" as in "father," the "ss" is a voiceless alveolar fricative "s" sound, and the "l" is a clear "L."
