christian: chrEEs- tee- an (like AN orange)


Louboutin: loo- boo- t ANd (remove the D at the end of "and".it was the nearest sound effect I could think of.read it like AND,but without the D,or it would be AN and that's not the same sound)





When you pronounce it, say it a little FAST, it will lessen your accent and make you more understandable.





Don't pronouce it with the "a" sound at the end of louboutin like oprah.


Voila!

Christian (Cah-resh-tin)


Louboutin (Low-boo-tun)

Try to say the an and on with your nose.

It provides the right pronunciation.


I tested it in my own language, Dutch.


But you can also key in, French, Spanish, German,


Italian etc words, names, or even whole sentences.





Don't forget to choose the right voice (= language).

Christian Louboutin is French.


I checked with one of the four French voices,


and the pronunciation was correct.








Hope this helps, and good luck!

Reply:low boo ton
Reply:Low booooo tunnn
Reply:chris ti an Laa boo tian
Reply:Lou (like in the name)-bou-ten/tin.





The last part being 'course the trickiest for English speakers, since it's pronounced the French way and English speakers never use the sound. We kind of swallow the last "n" and don't pronounce it and pronounce the e differently, can't find a word off the top of my head in the English language which has a similiar tone, though.
