Pomme - pronunciation by Luxiana |
Pomme, in French, is prounounced in different ways among the variety of dialects. In some countries where French is the common language it is pronounced as the pom in pom-pom, and in others it is pronounced as the word poem is pronounced. It is just as the american word Aunt, which can be pronounced "Ant" or "Awnt". It is just a minor technicality, but if your child is planning on living their life mostly in the United States, I would say that the word Pomme would be pronounced as the pom in pom-pom, as that is how it is taught to students of French (well, in the majority of cases anyway)who were born speaking English.
