CORRECT PRONUNCIATION

[sushisundance]

usually pag french words naman silent "s" and "t" pag nasa dulo like bourgeois, rendezvous, s'il vous plait, coup d'etat, cafe au lait. so madali maavoid yung mistakes na ganun.

pag naman "oi" ang pronunciation nun ay "wa". like moi (french for "me"), croissant, eau de toilette...

ang "de" ay pronounced as "du" not "de".

"est" is pronounced as "e", like c'est la vie "se la vi".

[sushisundance]

chamois yung usual na panglinis ng car pronunciation nun dapat "sha-mi" or "sha-mwa" although mas acceptable yung "sha-mi". Yun iba kasi "cha-moys".

ahh..tama nga.. In a meeting kasi na pinuntahan namin about preps for the coming undas, all of them pronounced it as ce-me-TE-ry, so nagtataka kami kasi ang alam namin ce-ME-te-ry, oh well tama pala sila at kami talaga ang mali..hahaha.. At least now alam na..

I like it because it has both the American and the British pronunciation.
