pronunciation: equipment

pronunciation: equipment


In French you pronounce the French word "équipement" /ekipman/
In English you pronounce "equipment" as /i'kwipment/

On of the difficulties of correctly pronouncing this word is the word stress: equipment, but we'll talk about that later...

The other difficulty is that in English you pronounce "qu" as /kw/, whereas in French you pronounce the same letters as /k/

Now pronounce the following words:


quantity

question

equality

equivalent

qualified



Watch out: the letter sequence "gu" is pronounced as in French:

guide, guard, guitar, guarantee


(PS: I haven't quite figured out how to write the phonetic script with my keyboard.
But I will soon!  )
