A Daily Thing

A classic in pronunciation 

Posted in regular by Sabine on April 30, 2010

There are times when I say things Christian doesn’t understand.  There are also times when I pronounce them ‘the normal way’ (as in, how they are pronounced in France) and it cracks him right up.

This, for example is a ‘shoope-ah-shoope’.  That’s right: the ‘s’ is silent.

In my sugar eating days, my favourites were strawberry and cream, and caramel (because of the beautiful little flans on the wrapper).

Next time you go to France, remember: ‘shoope-ah-shoope’.  Or you can point – that works too.
