Reply to: Prononciation and stresses in French by Miss Claire
Hi I'm French as well :)

Just to precise something : the combination "oe" without "u" normally makes "eh", not "uh". For example Phœbé and Œdipe, or the words "œnologie" or "stœchiométrique". But many french speakers are mistaken and pronounce it "uh"...Anyway, this is just a detail. :p

Andria.
