It's herbs*t*luft (herb + "st" like in "stone") (/hɛʁpstlʊft/)

Also, the "e" in "herbs" is a schwa (/ə/) while the e in the German
"herbst" is like an e in "met" or "bed" (/mɛt/)

Finally, if you want to add the "wm", you can either just say W M in
English, or in German, pronounce the W like in "web" or "van", but with
a long e (/veː/).

Hope that makes sense! :D

Florian
