What's the correct French pronunciation for Guerlain?

It starts with a hard "g" and no "u" sound (the "u" is just there to keep the "g" hard). Thus the first syllable sounds like "gair" and rhymes with English "hair". Then the second syllable begins with an "l," and ends in a nasalized "in" sound; "lain" rhymes with the French "vin".|||If you have no knowledge whatsoever on the pronounciation of French, here's my guide, assuming you pronounce it as if you would speak English:





Guerlain=


"goo", a deep "oo" sound


"air"


"lun", but the "n" is almost not pronounced. Almost a silent "n" sound.





Hope that helped! :)|||The first response from " Magistra... " is correct.
