[quote=Anonymous] I'm French and there are so many English words I don't pronounce correctly, despite being a bookworm and extremely well-read in classic English literature (mostly British). It also took many years for me to switch to American spellings, since I learned English in the UK. All the words that the US has in common with France I risk pronouncing in the French way :-) Continuité: con-ti-nu-i-té or con-tee-nuu-ee-tay Niche, French word: nee-shh. Not nitch. I used to pronounce segue as see-g (hard g sound). My bad. Not a French word![/quote]
