I didn't say it was; I was referring to the preferable English pronunciation. But I'm not sure what version of English you're speaking because the "au" sound in English (how, now, fowl) is pretty damn close to the "au" of Dutch (nou, jou, houden). The English one is a bit more open and wider sounding, but if you
had to explain a word like Gouda with English dipthongs, you would write Gowda.
