Simple as that - [ɛs][ɛl][kjuː][biː] or, localized for Germany, [ɛs][ɛl][kuː][beː].

BTW, I condone the use of English approximations such as bee for, eh well, English sounds. It does not help non-English speakers at all and only makes for loads of confusion (yes, I am referring to that sibling post above this one). Because that's [beː] for some (most?) people outside the realm of the English language. Please, just ♯ use IPA.

Since this is an english speaking forum, english approximations are fine.

This is a written forum, not a spoken one.

condone?

Sounds more like you condemn the use, rather than condone it.

condone?

Indeed so.
