Why French names trip up English speakers
- Nasal vowels. -an, -on, -in, -en are said through the nose in French; American English just uses the plain vowel + n.
- Silent endings. Final consonants are often silent, and -é is ‘ay’ (Dembélé → dahm-beh-LAY).
- The French R is made in the back of the throat; Americans simply use a normal ‘r’.
- Stress falls late — usually toward the last syllable, not the first.
