Jullie Allen

[Peter McGraw]

Well, not quite.  The u in "jullie" represents [Y], and the final -n is
not pronounced.  Also, if Bethany is just "passing through" Amsterdam,
she's unlikely to have occasion to use "jullie," since it's the plural
familiar form, not used with strangers or casual acquaintances.
("Jullie allen" is actually redundant, something like "all y'all.")  To
a stranger or casual acquaintance (or two or more thereof), the proper
expression is, "Hoe gaat het met U?"  [hu: gha:t @t mEt y], where [gh]
is used to indicate a voiced velar fricative.
