How do you pronounce Mille Fleur?

[blaundee]

I don't know how to say it.

Mille = Like Pill with an M instead of a P

Fleur = Like Flurry without the extra ry at the end

It's French, so keep that in mind. It's pronounced "mil flir" I guess. I don't know how to write the pronounciation of Fleur (meaning flower)

 

[JenEric Farms]

I should say, this is how I pronounce it. Someone might come along and disagree...

Good explanation, I speak French and that's as correct as you can get with a English explanation. Fleur is a bit different than flurry without the y, but I can't explain it in English.

I think there might be a accent thing going on. I listed to what you posted and it sounds exactly like mill (pill with a m) to me.

I live in Maine but I am from Tennessee.

I didn't notice there were two. They both sound different to me.

Does that mean even the dictionary doesn't know which way to say it?
