      Not that I would ever claim to know every French pastry, but I’m reasonably certain that there’s nothing in all of France or in the French language named ‘cwah-sont’.

            It’s as close as some English speakers can get. Some people can’t make foreign sounds. The ‘sant’ ‘sont’ ending is not right either, its more like a sohn ending with imperceptible nasal n. But again have you heard people to to speak a foreign language, it usually sounds terrible.

              Switzerland … English is not my first or second language. Do you not find those English pronunciations there in the video bizarre?

                American english is my first language and those all sounded spot on for all the regions she did. Even her french sounded great.

                The British English I can’t say I have hears a Brit say it. The first American one sounds right to me as does the Australian one for how we’d probably here it in Canada dltoo
