    Днепропетрoвск (Dnepropetrovsk) You would pronounce " Dn-ye-pr*-oh-pyet-r*oh-vsk.

    Саенко (Sayenko) Would be like "S-ah-yen-ko"

    Супрунюк (Suprunyuck) Is "Soop-r*oon-youk"

    Ханжа (Hanzha) "Kh**-an-zha"

    Сэргэ Ятз��нко (Sergei Yatzenko) "Seh-r*-geh Yat-zen-ko."

    * Is a trilled or "Rolled" R.

    ** Is an H sound, but you have to use your throat to make a harsh H sound. You can find this guttural sound in German and Arabic. It's like the Ch pronunciation in the Arabic name Achmed if you are familiar with the correct pronunciation.

    I hope this helps you and good luck with your presentation.
