Alright so this is my FIRST homework help thread! Yay!
The question is
How do you pronounce this word -
Fourrée[=http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourr%C3%A9e]Fourrée
I am preparing for a speech tomorrow on counterfeit money and I don't want to pronounce it wrong. lol
I don't have the time to search for the pronunciation of it so I'll leave it up to one of you.
+karma will ensue
Thanks

Well, I understood some French, and if that's a French word, I assume it's pronounced, Fure-ey. I could be wrong though.

Well, I know in music "Bourrée" is pronounced (roughly) boo-ray. Roll the r a little. The e with an accent is pronounced like "ay" (ie resumé or fiancée).
