Re: Ghislaine
in reply to a message by Bear
My first impression as a non-native French speaker was zheez-LEN. The g makes an appearance, but it almost just colors the first syllable only. My most prominent French teacher had lived in Southern France and my next French teacher was parisienne through and through. I am, however, North American and likely botch my pronunciations, simply by being a non-native speaker.

And the BtN database agrees with you. Since it looks as though there are more than one legitimate way to pronounce Ghislaine I do too. :-)
