Pain
In French, bread is pain. How is it pronounced? Thanks

I don't know how to transcribe it, but it sounds something like /pan/. Why?

without the n
But you don't really hear the end. It's a nasal sound.
I don't know how to transcribe it either. |

At this site, choose French, single vowel sounds, and then move your cursor over "a" nasal on the page that loads. |

Thanks Rusty, with that link I was able to find the pronunciation. It's basically "pa" with a barely pronounced nasal n at the end.
@Iris Why? Well, I'm just trying to re-learn the few French words I used to know. You never know, you might need them someday. Thanks Marsopa, I agree, you don't really hear the end.

From what I know of the French, they would be pleased with you for learning the word for bread.

French movies
I have been trying to revive my defunct French too. I have been watching Disney movies in French. So far, Lady and the Tramp has been the easiest to hear.

I think in English, the nasal sound in "pain" would be like a very stressed (more acute) vocal in "Fang" and "n" is not pronounced...
