You're gonna have to put a rolly R inbetween "Gah" and "so" to properly say Garcon.

The biggest mistakes I hear are Spanish names pronounced as Spanish from South America. That would be "Balensiaga"when in Spain it would be "Balen-thi-aga" With the "thi" as in "thi-ng".
As for Loewe I think it´s
Lo....like "lo-ve"
E ...like "evil"
We...like "be-ll"

bleh....I've got trouble with the rolly tongue syllables

I'm confused...I thought "Ohm" would be "owm" as in "home"...?

Anyhow, it's like "um"...it's a very short vowel, with a glottal. Almost rhymes with "come" (except a bit brighter, slightly more open.)

Hope that helps!

Just to put my mind at ease on the matter, Moschino is pronounced Mos-kee-no and not mos-shi-no, correct?

susie_bubble · 02-10-2005

^yup...the first one is right.
