It's quite easy - Air(e)Air

The little (e) is only just pronouced like the E in bitter.

And you just put everything in one word together with a little roling of the R

Answer 2

I am french and trying to translate it ;)

ER - EI - ER or something like this.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 3

Since it is an acronym and not the ending of a word, you would say the letters individually.

Say R like the english word "air"

Say E like "oo" in the english words "book" or "took".

So:  air - oo - air.

If the rer were coming at the end of a word, ie the French verb "rentrer" then you would pronounce it differently.  The rer would be pronounced like the english word "ray".

Answer 4

air. E. air.

Answer 5

In the years I've been studying French, I've never come across the word 'rer'.  It's always been a part of another word.  So is this what you're wanting to know?  Usually, for what I've seen,  the sound is like 'reh-er', but it would depend on the word.  It's really hard to phonetically spell it because it's a harsh sound and you have to roll the 'r'.

Answer 6

eihr ee eihr

Answer 7

Since it is an acronym for (R)éseau (E)xpress (R)égional the letters are each pronounced seperately. If you'll go to this website ( http://french.about.com/library/begin/bl... ) you can listen to how the letters "R" and "E" are pronounced in French.

NB: the Réseau Express Régional is an urban rail network in the Île-de-France région (the area around Paris). The overall rail system of France is the SNCF (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français).
