quay (English) is "key" - - but "quai" (French) is much closer to "kay" - - or a hybrid between "kay" and "keh".<BR><BR>We've had this discussion on the sounds of mes, mets, mai and mais before.<BR><BR>You'll do fine with the "kay" sound.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Speaking of pronounciations...<BR><BR>In addition to the one on London, I also watched a Travel Channel show on Rome last night. The narrator kept pronouncing "pasta" as if it rhymed with "fast-a", not "cost-a." <BR><BR>In the U.S. it seems to be generally prounced as rhyming with "cost-a." Isn't that also the way it's pronounced in Italy?
