HelpRe: A second spelling? Also Camille encouragement!
in reply to a message by Elena
That's a good question about Camille, I have no idea about how they would say it in Canada, I only know in France.
IMO I think a lot of French people sometimes give explanations like that because it's true, it is easier to say "not like 'appeal' just leave the L off" when people say they want to prn it "French" way, then to have to explain any subtle differences. My husband's name has an English/french prn and he just lets people here say it the English way because sometimes he feels like it's embarrassing or a hassle to help someone learn it and the english prn is fine but he would expect another French speaker to say it correctly.
If you listen to the links you can hear it right? I have trouble explaining these things lol.
