most of us anglo-saxon types have trouble with the distinctions between some of the french vowels.... in practice, when I lived in Paris years ago I had trouble telling if someone had gone north, east, or west for their weekend getaway (Reims, Rennes, or Rouen...the last consonant is rarely fully pronounced in any of them from what I can tell....I keep meaning to add this into a Gloranthan adventure some day)
