What's the percentage ?

How can I understand IPA, because I don't

No, but I wish I'd studied linguistics in the first place. Just very interested.
Skim the wikipedia article on the IPA once. Learn the naming conventions for the IPA letters/sounds. Listen to the audio examples.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conventions_of_the_International_Phonetic_Alphabet

Disregard the link. Meant to link this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chart

Stop calling London Londra then you edgy wop

Of course I wouldn't . What am I fucking gay ?
Actually thank us for fixing your shitty names.

seriously, english phonetics is such a shitshow, it's often impossible to pronounce a written word correctly unless you either already know it or know a very similar word

Makes it much easier to spot foreigners though

You guys don't really believe that right?

Name one major language that is more unreliable.

>pronouncing Camus as KAY-mew

Dearest creature in Creation,
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

It will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye your dress you'll tear.
So shall I! Oh, hear my prayer,

Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it?
Just compare heart, beard and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,

Sword and sward, retain and Britain,
(Mind the latter, how it's written!)
Made has not the sound of bade,
Say—said, pay—paid, laid, but plaid.

Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as vague and ague,
But be careful how you speak,
Say break, steak, but bleak and streak,

Previous, precious; fuchsia, via;
Pipe, snipe, recipe and choir,
Cloven, oven; how and low;
Script, receipt; shoe, poem, toe,

[...]

Finally: which rimes with "enough,"
Though, through, plough, cough, hough, or tough?
Hiccough has the sound of "cup"......
My advice is—give it up!

>pronounces "Foucault" like faux-cult

disgusting gobbledygook

>mfw my physics professor called Descartes "Dez-carts"

Thats how its pronounced in English though.

>I put on a different accent whenever I say foreign words

yeah well I say Sartre is smarter but Camus can doo doo.
in all seriousness I always find I am mispronouncing foreign names and words but I am aware of the problem and trying to fix it, I am sorry OP

You should go to France if you want your name to be pronounced all gay. This is America faggot, live it or leave it.

This and also look up how English words are written in IPA (or your native language if it isn't English) to get a feel for it

it's actually quite beautiful.

pleb
kʰæmʌs

This is now an IPA thread.
Is it really pronounced ˈJŋglJʃ? I always pronounced it eŋglJʃ.

Dang, the J is the near-close near-front unrounded vowel by the way

>friend starts telling me about how he's interested in Je-young
>"Who?"
>"The psychology guy"
>"Ohhhhh, Jung."

Bonus points: "Frood", "Nitsch", "Sar-truh", "Key-knee-sian economics", "Kierke-guard"

me: *sweats profusely*

Go to bed A

yeah, it's definitely an "I", not an "e", unless you speak some kind of weird dialect

Nobody is innocent here.

How do you pronounce it? I pronounce it as Foo-co but that's probably wrong

> Donkey Oatay

Pronouncing French words in a French way is the surest sign of spotting a middle-class pleb.

or a canadian

common words are different from names
referencing philosophers while butchering their names makes you sound like you have no idea what you're talking about

>"ethnic" woman
>over-pronounces every word

> actively pronouncing a French name incorrectly
> calls others plebs

>t. middle-class pleb

I live in the midwest

French-speaker here: foo-co (keep the quality but cut the vowels short) is good

but thats correct. i think theres a documentary mentioning some of his letters after first gaining fame related to his work. he's talking to a friend about their mispornunciation of his name and i think says something like
>have i not always been tol-keen?

Joyce pronounced it: "ool-he-says"

I say pronounce it Michel Fucker

it is pronounced a-goo(d)-stín

pin-cho(pp)-n

>Came-Iss

fo(r)-call-t

the englishman, actually. cf. "leftenant"

(t)oo-lis(ten)-(r)es(t)

y'lisses

Its a local last name and people here pronounce it Cam-us unlike the french
