If there is a g in there I will pronounce a g there. I have some standards and that is one. Pronouncing every single letter.




> Pronouncing every single letter.

Now I want to know how you pronounce words like: through, bivouac, and queue.


You don’t pronounce all the letters?

no. ever heard of silent letters?

I'm a native speaker of English, northern California dialect. I pronounce every one of those letters, to varying degrees. Some just affect the mouth shape by subtle amounts, but it is there.

That must be fun any time you talk about Worcestershire (the sauce or the place).


I was only talking about the examples given.

That's a gnarly standard you have there.

obviously not a native French speaker
