I'm just beginning to learn Russian and I'm trying to figure out how I'd write my last name. Крумвиде would be somewhere in between the original German pronunciation and the way my family pronounces it now, and Google turns up a few uses of that spelling for the name of a scientist who spelled his name the same way I do. But Крумуиди would actually be closer to how I would pronounce it. Would a native speaker have any difficulty slurring together 'уи' as a syllable by itself, sounding somewhat like the English word 'we'?
Спасибо!
