Pronunciation of Genre/s

Brian E.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Is the audio for “genre/s” ok? I’m not hearing it as that word. It’s the last sentence “qui est remplie d'objets en tout genre”.

Bonjour Brian,

I have checked the recording, and 'genres' is pronounced correctly.

I know the last sound 're' is pretty soft in French. It rhymes with 'duh' but is very soft and quick.

English speakers pronounce it much more harshly, and maybe that was what you were expecting?

Hope this helps!
