How to Pronounce "Cascais" + Audio

I asked a linguist friend who's been learning Portuguese how to say the name of the Festival town.
kush (rhymes with rush) kah-eesh

For those who understand this kind of notation, here's the phonetic description:
kɐʃˈkajʃ

To hear it spoken, click here to download the file from Google Sites Cascais.mp3
You should get a window that looks like this:
Click the blue arrow at the bottom right to download.
Note that if you then choose Open rather than Save, it may take a few moments to play.

If you have problems, email me.
