Hi there!
I hope I can be of service with regards to the pronounciation of "Bonade"
and "Benade".
French is my first language, so this is relatively easy for me....
Bonade: -the vowell [o] sound as in the word "atom" (almost like "bun")
-the vowell [a] sound as in the word "at"
-the accent is on the second syllable of the word
Benade: -the vowell [e] sound has no direct english representation in a
word, however it is reasonably
close to the word "agent", (at least to my ears...)
-"ade" same as above

*For those who know their I.P.A.: greatly sorry about the incorrect
phonetical representations, I have NO IDEA how I would ever get those
symbols out of my computer - I can't even underlign or italicize in this
&*#$%= email program!! :)
