[quote=Anonymous][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] Niche is definitely pronounced neesh, all around the world. Only uneducated Americans pronounce it as nitch and everyone shakes their heads internally. It’s the same group who says things like “he got bit”. [/quote]
