I checked Fashion File to see the pronunciation of Rochas:

THAT'S how I was trying to write it out. Roashahs! Haha I don't think it makes much sense.

I don't know how to pronounce:

1) the "faux" in "faux fur" is it "fo fur", "fawks fur" (highly doubt it

)

2) "laurent" as in "yves saint laurent" is it Law-raw, Lore-en or something else completely

post the words you're having trouble with.

faux is like FO

and laurent is like lo-ron

and can someone help me with a word please...........how do u pronounce chantecaille???

PrinceOfCats · 10-08-2004

French? Schon(t)-cai?

BabyJ · 10-08-2004

LOL. Ever since moving to Montreal I've gotten over my problem with french words. Just remember that the last letter, if not a vowel is usually not pronounced.

Laurent is Lo-Ron
I used to live in Ville St. Laurent and I loved going for drinks on St. Laurent

very nice information, thankyou!

No problems with fo or Lauron, but I can't pronounce bowl. It always comes out bow-ell.

PrinceOfCats · 10-08-2004

Worry not. Geordies call a film a fil-um. They can't pronounce English and they are English...

But people have accents and sometimes they like to use them.

An accent I can deal with. Americans pronounce 'Mall' like 'Maul', fine. Fil-um on the other hand is just plain wrong.
