Pronunciation of Igel in United Kingdom

The i is pronounced 'ee' not 'eye'. The second syllable is not pronounced 'gool' but more like 'gerl', only shorter than the 'er' sound is usually spoken in English. The whole word sounds similar to 'eagle' but with the tongue pushed further forward on the 'l'.
