Phonetics Guide

This is a phonetic system devised for English-language speakers. It is by no means a 100% accurate representation of Franco-American French pronunciation. Rather, it is a modest “quick- x” guide to provide those totally unfamiliar with French pronunciation with a basic idea of how to pronounce the song texts.The best way to use these phonetic lyrics is to combine reading them with diligent listening to the pronunciation Kim and Carmen use on the recordings.
