I used to pernounse it Tergen. I still do sometimes. I have a dog named Tergen (actually Turgon, but we call him Tergen).

My stumbling block was words that had an 'a' with two dots in it, Eä and Eärendil, for example. It took me ages to remember that the 'ä' is pronounced like an 'a' in Elvish (and Finnish) because 'ä' is a quite common wovel in Finnish and it's pronounced like an 'a' in the word "dad".

And I used to pronounce Círdan as chirdan (ch like in the word 'chest'). That was rather strange...

I always thought at the end of the 'Lord of the Rings' in the apendixes (I can't spell check because all I have is word pad on my computer) there was a section on how to pronounce some of tolkein's words. I do have a rather new copy of the books though. I may be wrong though... Even with the help I find myself often thinking sme-ah-gul among other pronouncing mistakes.
