    It's understandable but with an English accent! Try to imitate my French accent. In French we make liaisons between words Like that

    For cuppachino watch out the prononciation of bougie, quatre, porte feuille, the stress is always on the end of words in French Come on repeat after me!

    ►Joel, I invited a couple of my friends to review this. Christane is a French native. You can also comment on your own exercise, as feedback and follow-up questions. They used to notify us when someone commented on our post, which facilitates collaboration and discussions. Recently that was change. A few of my serious linguistics friends and I are working to get LiveMocha to reinstate that feature. For now, private notification by message is required to alert someone to come back and look/respond. *** ►Christane: Merci beaucoup pour ta aide. Tu es très gentil. J'ai hâte à notre prochain "chat".

    deux hommes is pronounced as one word. 

    Un is very nasal.
