Scheveningen is a city in The Netherlands.

The Dutch try to get American tourists to say it for their own pleasure and laughs. They can't. You have to have the "schhuuchhh" in your throat (like a bug is in there). Don't try because you'll practice for a long time and get nowhere. I tried.
Dutch Boy: Say "Scheveningen"

American Girl: Shev-en-innngeeen? Shabahahabla?

Dutch Boy: Hahaha

American Girl: What did I say?

Dutch Boy: Scheveningen; it's a city. American's and German's can't say it.
