English-French words
Hi, yesterday, I knew I have a problem to pronounce English loan words from French like "entrepreneur".
Do you know any other loan words?
Thank you very much in advance!

"Entrepreneur" is in fact a relatively recent loan word from French, so it preserves a semblance of its French pronunciation. In addition to that, there are around two hundred thousand loan words from French that came into English a few hundred years ago and are completely incorporated into the language -- including phonetically -- to the point where people don't even think of them as French anymore.
