Fiancé/Fiancée - any difference in pronunciation?
|
|
Is there a difference in pronunciation between fiancé and fiancée? What would our precious colleagues, esp. native speakers of English and French suggest? |

for us French speakers there is no difference between the masculine and the feminine forms when we pronounce them. |
