'es lässt sich nicht lesen
I am voice recording a story for Halloween and I have NO idea how to pronounce this. My guess is ESS LAHZT SEEK NIKT LESSEN.
If you could do a voice record or point me to one of it that would be ideal!

ess lesst ziCH niCHt layzen
ess (like the letter S)
lesst (rhymes with best)
ziCH (a short i and the CH is kind of like the H at the beginning of the name Hugh, but exaggerated)
niCHt (a short i and the CH is kind of like the H at the beginning of the name Hugh, but exaggerated)
layzen (almost rhymes with raisin, but try to keep the ay from gliding off into an eee sound)

Close: ESS LEST SICK NIKT LAYZEN. But the ch isn't pronounced exactly like a K--it's more guttural, almost like clearing your throat. In some parts of Germany, it's softer than that, almost like sh.

In German, the "ch"-sound is
guttural "ch" sound after a, o, u and au (harsh in the throat)
palatal "ch" sound after i, ie, e (as if you are breathing in a lot of air)
