i know he's from brazil, which means he speaks portuguese. and in portuguese (or at least in brazil) an R that appears at the beginning of a name or word is pronounced with an H sound. so "Rubens" would be pronounced "Hubens". i know that much. then there's the double R and double L in his last name. i know in all latin languages (not sure about portuguese) a double R requires you to roll your tongue like a cat's purr. and the double L in latin languages gets pronounced as a Y. so with all this together Rubens Barrichello should be pronounced "Hu-bens Ba-r-r-r-r-icheyo" am i correct? perhaps the members from brazil could give us some insight on that one. thanks
