eh, can't thing of great counterparts on english... you know, when baby cries, it's something: byääh... eh... english a would be in most cases same as ä. on the other hand, when it's used as prefix of a word, english ppl pronounce it like our ö and american as our "ei" (which means the same as "no" in english...)
so, back to the city name. j - translates to y y - no counterpart in my mind currently... v - v ä - a s - s k - k (or just c) l - l
so it turns out something like: yyvaskyla
one thing I know though, german ppl turn it like: jyvaeskylae
which is looking pretty awfull even to me. after all, I've been living in this small town (in 10 top in finland's scale) for 2 years now and am ready to move out asap. so, after that, no one needs to try to pronounce it anymore.

Jooel,
Got your voice email thanks. To me, your pronouncing Jyväskylä as:
u-ask-kula
yeah, that voice email you sent really helped. Thing is, now the wifey just asking if I can get your telephone number ... don't know what she means by that ... hmmm ...
