I know nothing about the method but the name looks distinctively Scandinavian, Swedish to be exact. If it is Swedish and you want to pronounce the name the way the man himself pronounced it, it is ['vestergre:n]. The stress is on the first syllable and the initial w is pronounced as the v in veal. [e ] is pronounced like the e in get. The r is rolled in pretty much the same way peop
