Yes, I realize that French orthography is quite a bit more rule based than English, but still, is the a native French dictionary that gives pronunciations for each word? (I haven't found one yet) | |

| Jan 23, 2020 at 15:50 | comment | added | Mitch | Or more technically: for 'politique' I expect: /o/ as in 'homme' and for 'po' I naturally expect /o/ as in 'aucune' but I just don't know easypronunciation.com/en/french-letters-pronunciation-ipa-chart | |
| Jan 23, 2020 at 15:48 | comment | added | Mitch | I naturally want to say 'pah lee teek' (my English accented French) where 'pah' rhymes with french 'la'. And for 'po' I rhyme it with 'toe'. | |
| Jan 23, 2020 at 15:11 | comment | added | Laurent S. | Sorry I don't know IPA (well...except for the beers) but I personally don't think I pronounce it differently and I don't hear much difference in the 2 links you give. Maybe the recording quality is misleading... | |
