How to Pronounce these French Words?

Question

"Boule quiès" (Means earplugs in French)

Please tell me what syllables to accent! Thankyou!!!

Answer 1

Bool key-ess.

The second word has the same stress on each of its syllables but to English-speaking people it sounds like the second syllable is stressed (just because we naturally stress a syllable in all of our words), so try to stress the "-ess" part a bit.

Also, when English-speakers say a word like "bool", we sort of turn the l into a separate syllable (so it sounds a bit like "boowel"). Make sure you say it as one syllable. You might need to change the position of your tongue to do it: try making just the tip of your tongue touch the roof of your mouth when saying the l.

Answer 2

onn - wee - yur (very last syllable as in "chook") day - lee - shur (" " " " ") an excellent type of the others have were given close, yet no cigar! Edit: to the guy who gave me a thumbs down: go pay interest to a French human being. you'll see i'm accurate. the striking French sounds are very on the fringe of the English ones i have written above.

Answer 3

"boo-l kee/h," accent on the 'kee/h'.

Make sure you pout your lips a little with the 'bool,' it's really one syllable, but you want to emphasize the 'boo' pat. What I mean by 'kee/h' is also monosyllabic, but there is an ever-so-gentle aspiration following.
