How to pronounce...?

Question

these French words: "Balancier," "berceuse." If it's also possible, could someone point me in the right direction for an online audio-pronunciation key website for English-to-French and vice versa?

Answer 1

www.forvo.com is an online audio pronunciation key for apparently every word in the world so check that out

Balancier - bah-lahnce-eeyey

Berceuse - behr-suze

know they aren't the correct pronunciation keys but personally i find those things a bit difficult to work out!

Answer 2

ba lan see AY

bair SOOZ  

In "balancier," the first two a's are pronounced somewhere between the a's of "ball" and "cat."  if you can't quite hit that pronunciation, err in the direction of "ball."

In "berceuse," the vowel sound of the second syllable is the oo of "look," not of "boot."  It's even a little closer to "uh."

Answer 3

ba lawn see yay for balancier and bear suh se for berceuse.
