mint Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 [quote user="ericd"]mint says .....vers as in vers Bordeaux (in the direction of.....)vers minuit (around midnight...)ver (worm) ........ you can also addvert (as in green)verre (as in glass)vers (as in poetry)vair (as in the fur)[/quote]Eric, you wouldn't get away with verre as in glass around here. If I said that, they'd all jump on me and make me say "veRR", I'd have to sound the second R[:)]You should hear them make me say échaRpe.....took me several attempts!Also, Eric, could you please answer my question on the where- is-mint thread because I wrote something en express for you[:)]Sue, I use wordreference for the pronunciation too but I feel I would like to acquire a nicer sounding accent in my speech all round. I think it's something I'd really enjoy doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericd Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Do you know this little rhyme …..Il était une fois, une marchande de foie qui vendait du foie dans la ville de Foix. Elle se dit « ma foi, c’est bien la dernière fois que je vends du foie dans cette ville de Foix». Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
