Last name Pronunciation

Hi. I am going to move into a new home, where the last name of the landlady is "Piecuch". I don't want to embarass myself by pronouncing it in a strange way. So, can someone help me pronounce this name?

Knowing the linguistic source of the name is not always helpful, as many people with such names often change them to sound anglicized. Ask one of the other residents. I'm certain that the lady herself would be pleased that you care enough about pronouncing her name correctly that you would ask her .
