Should this be pronounced like the English "Europe" or like E-Wrop?

    The ew- is the same as in mewn - /e/ followed quickly by /w/ as explained in the videos recommended at the beginning of the course and in the 'pronunciations' discussion under the 'Popular' heading - here where it is in video no. 7, or close by.

    I couldn't work out which video you meant, but that's okay I get which pronounciation you meant.
