pronounciations
 
Can someone please give me the phonetic way to pronounce reservation and champagne in French. Is there a web site that gives phonetic pronounciation translations from English to French?

Another deficiency of the stupid Fodor's script.

I like this website as it is accurate. However reservation has to be written with é "réservation" to be said properly.. :-)

I think if you either select Alain or Julliette, just type in reservation, you will find that it is the correct French pronunciation..

It is a good site.. i have another one, but think i like this one better.

gracejoan, I tried both re(ré)servation and it is NOT said the same way... that is why I mentioned it here. Anyway it should sound like the English "re" in reservation. :-)
