To greet delegates (men and women) at a conference in Barcelona in Catalan. Also, any hints as to pronunciation would be good! Thanks in advance

Catalan translation:Senyores i senyors, benvinguts a Barcelona.
Explanation:
Pronunciation hints: "ny" cluster as [nj], all "e's" and "a's" pronounced as schwa except for "benvinguts" which sounds [e], both "b" and "v" sound alike, i.e. [b], "i" sounds [i] (not [ai])
Good luck!
