ra bow (as in a violin bow) or ru bow (the u as in the word - up) depending on how u pronounce your A's and the D on the end is silent - i believe. (This is with an aussie accent so...)
Jonathan
P.S. How do you pronounce Milhaud? I was always told it sounds like when a cat purrs - as in Miow - but have also heard that in the province that he lived in France or was born in it was actually pronounced as Milhowd.

Jonathan--
Good work on Rabaud (accent on the beau, Linus--it's French). rah-beau
And so is Milhaud---- ME--O --- accent on second syllable with a little French H thrown in. Musical and regular dictionaries and reference books also can help with this stuff.

I've always heard Milhaud pronounced "MEE-oh."
By the way, Francaix came from the Dutch-speaking area of Flanders and pronounced his name "frang-SEX" (where "ng" is a nasalized "n"). An announcer at a classical music station in New York actually wrote to him requesting the correct pronunciation and got a letter back giving the Flemish one, though he said he was used to being called "frang-SAY" and had given up correcting people.

Are you sure that Milhaud is pronounced Mee-oh or Meow or whatever?
I just did some research (well..30 seconds of it on google) and i found out that he comes from provence in the south of france.
according to my french teacher, people in provence pronounce many of the silent characters at the end of words that parisians don't pronounce.
provencal french sounds really cool. provence is also VERY beautiful. maybe you can go there on vacation some time! do some research on GOOGLE.
so maybe the 'd' in Milhaud isn't silent after all. but there aren't many people from provence so it's probably meow or whatever.

I learned French as a general education course in university.
"r" should be pronunciated with your tongue on the back of upper teeth.
(just like ringing rrrrrrrr.)
"au" should be pronunciated like oh or ou, like "aw'some.
'd' is silent. de is not.This is true of 't" and "te" too.
>I' ve always heard Milhaud pronounced "MEE-oh."
No. You should pronunciate this including "y" like MEE-Y-oh.
Your lips should be very flat when pronunciate Y.
ps.French words' accent should be put on the last syllable not like English.

Yes, you're talking about parisian french.
but in Provence, they pronounce the silent 'd'
they also sound more free and less snobbyish or something. or more carefree. i dunno. hard to describe.

Hiroshi,
A native English speaker will auitomatically make a "Y" sound when progressing through the MEE-oh sound. And, unless my mother, a native french speaker, is wrong, in this case the accent is on the 1st syllable.

If you already knew how to pronounce "Rabaud" or "Milhaud" and think that however they pronounce in Provence is the "right" way ...
Why were you asking here? We're not here to argue with your teacher or whoever.

So if you take the French pronunciation rather than Flanders, is there any difference between Francaix and Français?

(you wouldn't believe it, but I get decent grades in high school French)
