"on" was the closest i could come for the EN in french.. ahn works pretty well too and is a bit more refined in accent, but slightly harder to get an idea of how it sounds IMO, nice one bradruth:thumbsup: :)

Je ne comprends pas. :(

I'll admit I had to put that one through a translator...I've only taken one semester of French, so it's pretty poor. I'm decent at pronounciation though...my instructor was from France.

Je parles francais, mais rarement et mal.

with emphasis on the "cule" when speaking it

The guy that I heard use it emphasized the "eh" part of it. And he's from france. :p

Yes, excellent job by metldown, poor job by UNESCO. French tends to stress the last syllable (I should know, I wrote a commercial text processor for French).
