Ail. Garlic in French, but I'd like to know the easiest way to pronounce it - I had a awful time a few weeks ago when the waiters thought I was saying "oil"!

it's quite simple!!!
You don't have to pronounce the letter L in the end.
Actually, "ail" has the same pronounciation as "I" (personnal pronoum)

A lot of americans should come in France for a french lesson!!! You're welcome!! ;)

Ail, this I believe is a dipthong and the ai combination is pronounced like "I" like in the word fight. So it is pronounced "Eye-L" I hope you get your garlic. Happy eating.

nicely the position in England is asserted Wa-rick the 2d "w" isn't suggested, its no longer "wick" a lot as "rick" and then reckoning on accent is in case you assert "Wah" or "conflict" i'm hopeless at writing phonetically, yet hopefully it makes some experience! Warwickshire, or Warwick fort, geneally listening to the position on the information or climate, and then of direction Warwick Brown from CSI. TriHarder - did not comprehend til now he/they spelt the call like that! it really is probable why it replaced into suggested properly! And certain, there's a proper/splendid thanks to say "Warwick" because that is an area, so its like retaining there is not any splendid thanks to say London or Cairo. there is, even with it getting used as a recognition of an area or human being. Is the actor Warwick Davis?

well - I have a better idea - why don't you ask them for "Garlic" - if Ail means Garlic in French -then ask them for Gar-lic. I think it would be easier communication for the both of you.

If you go to the Merriam Webster dictionary on line, they pronounce the words.

Actually, you don't pronounce the "l". It's pronounced "ay".
