How do you pronounce Anglo-Saxon?

I studied Anglo-Saxon (West Saxon) dialect in graduate school as a part of Linguistics. Ninety percent of the words are German cognates, so if I didn't know the word's meaning, I used the German one. The actual language itself sounds a good bit like German, although my professor told me to watch it so the German r was a little less pronounced.

It was a trilled r in Anglo-Saxon.
