I there a correct way to pronounce "Jacques Rogge"?

Question

His name seemed to be pronounced differently by the official announcers in French and English at the Olympics, never mind the TV commentators.

Answer 1

Jacques is usually pronounced with a soft J and to rhyme with "mock". But very softly on the J as if you were almost saying Shock.

Rogge is pronounced to rhyme with "dog" but a soft on the g and emphasis on the O

Answer 2

Jock (very soft "J") Rog-g*y.  

Jacques Rogge

Answer 3

There is one pronounciation: HATER.  Seriously, heard what he said about Usain, da real boss.

Answer 4

Jacques>>Zjock

Rogge>>Row-zjeh

is how I would pronounce it. My ex bf's name was Jacques and that's how it was pronounced. Then again it depends on where the person is from.

**the "z" is not pronounced like that in the word Buzz...it's a little difficult to type versus saying it outloud...like the french do.

Answer 5

Like "jahk row-g," with the "j" like the second "g" in "garage" and the "r" nice and throaty.

Answer 6

Zhack Ro g*y

Answer 7

Jack RO gEE

Answer 8

Jakes Roj-A
