Hello Bruceyu,
"au revoir " is used to express farewell.
'revoir' is a verb that means 'to see again'
'au revoir ' means goodbye.
You can listen to the pronunciation here:

while the meaning is correct below (goodbye/ till we meet again), the grammar is incorrect:
a ("to") + le ("the") = au
le revoir = a NOUN, meaning, loosely, "the re-seeing", which we don't have a word for in english
so, it's literally "to the time we see again [each other]" ~ goodbye.

"au revoir" = goodbye, but you expect to see them again
"a dieu" = goodbye, but you don't expect to see them again (lit. "to God")
You'll need to work out the French R in the throat to get it sounding correct. I think one of the French creoles has simplified it to "ov-wa".

It means "bye-bye", its pronunciaton is [or(ə)vwar]
You can find the pronunciation on the website http://www.frdic.com/dict/au+revoir/
But, attention,this pronunciation is not so perfect.Because,actually,the tone is more variable.
