How do you pronounce beigne? Like "bain" or "bainya" or something else? The "gn" making a nyuh sound is always tricky for English people. A lot of people have an urge to pronounce it "oig nun".

For the ''gn'' sound, the only example that come in my head is the sound you could get when you say ''and you'' , but very fast ''N'you'' ... so the N+Y seems to make this sound in english when I pronounce it.
Speaking about some difficulties for english peoples in french, one of my Ontarian friend is simply not able to pronounce ''Longueuil'' ... same for Vaudreuil or Auteuil. I tried tons of time to teach him how to say that and he failed to say : Long-you-heel... Longweyeal lol . At least he tried !
