You pronounce the r tho. It's crwa- son.
Not son, ssant like in sand
Yeah, that's more like it. My bad. I haven't spoken french in a while and a soft "son" ( the french word for his) is what I heard when quickly pronouncing it under my breath so people around me in the bus don't think I am some kind of crazy. Anyway, saying it out loud it's indeed closer to the french word cent.
Rolling r for style points
Something about French words makes you really want to say them with the most forced and shitty accent imaginable.
Quesssont
The funniest part is using those exaggerated accents while speaking the language can actually help native speakers understand you better.
You'll always have a foreign sounding accent but the accent is part of the word so if your not at least somewhat faking an accent your not saying the word correctly.
You just gave me a flashback to an ESL class where one of my classmates was being a little shit, and decided to mockingly take on the most over-the-top English accent he could manage while reading aloud.
... Well it actually worked quite well and the teacher was pleased lol.
This is basically how I speak English
Canadian French CBC radio had a broadcast station called eSpace musique... pronounced "ass pass".
It's a pun. "Space" in French is "espace" - it's more of a schwa+s than "a+s" so "eSpace" is the everyday French word espace but with a capital S to make a visual pun on e- prefix for electronic.
it'd be like calling an online property maintenance service eState (estate like property + electronic state for maintenance)
Wow I'm really impressed with the equivalent example you came up with, it explains it perfectly.
French in France: Quasson.
French in Kebek: k̷̥͐͋̏́̽̊̿̈́̌́̓̐̚͘͝͝g̸̨̢̜͇͈͉͈̣̯̬̟̓̑̋̔̓͂̓̕h̵͈̼͓̜̤̀͊̈́̐̎̌r̸̨͕̝̲̤̳̠̙͔̫̝̞̹̠̠̗̾͒̓̀́͆̍͗̀͂̚͝͝ͅg̷̨̣̞͕̮̖̫̘̼̲͚̹̩̦̟͚͂̊̂̋̃̏̄͒̋͆̂̌͒͠ṙ̵̛̛̙̹̙̗̮̖̑̄̑̈̒wasson.
How dare you slander my people so.
It's actually pronounced: Joe Louis
Jos pas Joe!

If we're talking about French cats in this thread, you can't not post "Curious French cat" by Sylvia Plath:
Jay parlay France-says tray bee-en. Jaytude France-says pour treys anss.
I have no clue what you said, but you sound just like Peggy Hill.
If she thought she could speak French, yeah, she'd use that accent, lol
How did you get transcripts of me during my high school exchange term?
I'm always watching Wazowski. Always. Watching.
That was actually me talking to Quebecoise when I visited, lol. They begged me to speak English, and immediately switched to English for me, lol
