"How do you explain that some people dont pronounce them the way the Cambodians pronounce them, but pronounce them the way the French spelling sounds in English?"
The French letter "j" has a different sound value than the English "j.". Unless of course you. want to speak another language with a strong accent. Really I fiind. your. self appointed linguistic expertise fraudulent.
To drive the point home listen to a Frenchman say "Jasmine" and to a native English speaker say the same word. Of course as is true with all languages your location in the country may produce variations. Nonetheless they never changed the questions and you never knew all the answers. I really don't care how nice you are, I care about relevance.

The best thing you can do with your gf is actually traveling.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 10:39 amNot only that but apparently pent up desires were unleashed as well..DrRawBlueGreen wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 2:49 am Didn’t you follow the discussion.

To be more specific, I think that a Frenchman would pronounce the j in jasmin as a voiced postalveolar fricative and and Englishman would pronounce the j in jasmine as a voiced postalveolar affricate.taabarang wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 4:50 pm
