One way to say it is...Bonjour mes memere.... which means Hello , our grandmother..." Now the way to pronounce that as an English speaker would be...
Bonjour = Think of the Word 'bomb' and just take the 'b-o" from that ...think of a drunk guy saying "Zsure Officer, I'm not drunk..."then add the two halves almost saying bow as in bow & arrow, then quitting halfway into the "w"....I know this doesnt type well in English, but many French Words sound like slurred Words in English.
Now for the family members:
Memere is grandmother pronounced .... mehmay
pepere is grandfather pron...... peh-pay
mataunte is my aunt pron....muh townt... just Townt for Aunt but 99% of the time the Word "my" is added before saying Townt
m'oncle is uncle pron....mun-ownk..... I think I spelled the french Word wrong, though.
frere is brother pronouced.... fr-aire
l'enfant is the baby pron.... la-fant
there are several dialects, and you may come across variations, like our Boston accents can turn 'yard' into yahd...stuff like that. !Au Revoir! (Goodbye...Pron: awe-revohr)
