How to pronounce bonjour?

bohn-zhoor

* bohn: The "o" sound is similar to the "o" in "gone" or "on."

* zhoor: The "j" is pronounced like the "zh" in "pleasure" or "vision."

Here's a breakdown:

1. Start with the "bohn" sound, emphasizing the "o."

2. Follow with the "zhoor" sound, making sure the "j" is soft and not a hard "j."

Tips:

* Listen to native French speakers pronounce it. You can find audio recordings online or watch French-language videos.

* Practice saying it out loud. The more you practice, the more confident you'll become.

* Pay attention to the intonation. In French, "bonjour" is typically pronounced with a slightly rising intonation.
