Re: Ah, ze nuances of froggy pronounciation!
Yes, French is very front of the mouth where English does sort of swallow their L's. With Odile in French the tongue ends behind the front teeth with a tiny hint of smile-pullback on the lips whereas in English it ends behind the lower teeth on the floor of the mouth with a wide pullback grin. I try to cop out with 'it's delicate' because it's soooooooo hard to explain adequately in writing and a good audio file would probably clear it right up!Devon
