About the pronunciation of the Frebch word “lieu,” Ii’s no “loo” but “leeuh.” Here’s an audio example (with “un” in front) http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Image:Fr-lieu.ogg

- Can’t think of another F for U sound, but there are plenty of weird English pronunciations of French. One example: a famous street in London witha French name–Beauchamp Place–should be pronounced “bo shon” place. It is actually pronounced Beecham!
- Let me try that again: French, that’s better
