Happy New Year is 'Gelukkig Nieuwjaar' in Dutch.
It's very hard for non-native speakers to pronounce Dutch words, since we have very different sounds. The G is the hardest letter for foreigners to pronounce. Not even the Flemish can say this and many Dutch (especially from the provinces in the south) can't pronounce it either. So I can't explain the word 'gelukkig', except for the 'luk' part which sounds like the English 'luck'. The 'nieuw' part sounds like the English 'new'. The pronounciation of the letter R is also very different in Dutch. You can compare this to the Spanish R. Once again not every Dutch person can pronounce the R and the pronounciation also depends on the other letters of the word. The 'jaar' part is best described as saying 'AAA' at the doctor or saying the German or Dutch word for yes, which is 'ja' and then you're trying to be a pirate. So it's a bit like 'Yarrr' but with a long drawn-out a.
