CEFR level: A2

Say it like KROUS-punt

Phonetic breakdown

The word is composed of 'kruis' (cross) and 'punt' (point), pronounced with a distinct 'ui' diphthong.

Learners often mispronounce the 'ui' sound, which is unique to Dutch and does not exist in English.

Use this word specifically for road intersections; for a metaphorical turning point in life, use 'keerpunt' instead.
