Well ... yes, it's wrong. I tried, perhaps unsuccesfully, to explain what
the sound of each letter is. To put it all together, you just spell all the
letters one after the other, with a small emphasis on the 'a'. 'esh-ahg',
yes, if it were french, but it isn't. Change the 'sh' to a french 'tch' (as
in riCH), and don't skip the 'u' and the 'e' at the end, loud and clear :-)

Glad to have you here! But which book it was? Perhaps I can be of help?
