Help[Opinions] Re: Does Anouk sound weird to most American's?
in reply to a message by bluedahlia
Does it have more of a light touch on the k sound? I automatically read the vowel soond to be more like ew than Nanook... just realize some others might not read it that way... With the k being pronounced it sounds quite unappealing... even if I pronounce it w/ a Fr. accent.

Yes I would say there is a light touch on the k sound. Although what may be appealing to one person is not to another etc.
This is how it is pronounced (audio of native speakers)

I am also 99% sure it is said like the above in Chocolat as well.

I don't know how it's said for realz in French, but in Chocolat it's said like ah-NOOK. Not an ew sound. Unless I'm totally remembering wrong, which is possible!
