Jingthing Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 For some reason, I've always had a mental block about pronouncing GNOCCHI!

manarak Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 FAIL. Amuse-bouche is already wrong. it's pronounced "ah-MUEZ-boosh", not "ah-MOOZ-boosh" will check the rest for more mistakes now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Boeuf bourguignon is pronounced "BOEF boor-gee-NYON" not "BOOF boor-gee-NYON" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 People can click on items in the article and HEAR the French pronunciations from a NATIVE French speaker. yes, good point, although the accentuation sounds a bit, errrm... transatlantic, LOL. The UE in amuse-bouche almost sounded like OO due to accentuation the first time I heard it, but then I re-listened, and it's indeed UE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
