  1. By your profile I'm guessing that you are Australian? So I'll try to take into account Australian phonetics so your pronunciation can be more accurate :)

    Sowh-veyh (silent 'h' and don't fully pronounce the 'w')

    Dong (silent 'g')

    Sahl deuh (silent 'h') bahng (half pronounce the 'ng')

    Leeh (silent 'h')

    Hope that helps!


  2. sor-ver

    don

    sal der bans

    lee

  3. su-veak

    daa

    sal  de  bien

    li

  4. saver, thans, zall the bayns, lyt

  5. http://dict.leo.org/frde?lang=de&lp=frde

    It's a translation website from Germany. Just type in the word you need in the box on top and click "Go". Then it shows you the translation. On the left side there is a button with a speaker, click on it and it opens a file where you can listen to the word.

  6. sav-er

    don

    sal de ban

    li

  7. My education is french but I'm telling you if you are not familiar with "alphabets Phonetiques" it's hard to pronounce it and it's hard to give you the right pronounciation coz some of them does not exist in english. Here you have 4 kinds of combination "au", "er", "an" & "ain" each one of them has a diffrent sound.

    Sauver: Soveh. (eh it's close in pronounciation to ey in journey)

    Dans: don ( but you have to open it a little and try not to show the pronounciation of "n").

    Salle de bains: Sal (you pronounce the "a" like you prounounce it the word alphabets) - de - bun (like you start to pronouce fun but you stop before pronouncing the "n")

    lit: lee

    Like I told you before the pronouncination that I gave you it's not accurate because some of them does not exist in english.
