haha.
You know what's funny, I live in Montreal (Quebec) and speak a limited ammount of French - emough to get by with the average stranger I'll encounter on the street, but for the life of me I can't pronounce the street name that I live on!
St-Ambroise.
My sister jokingly says that it should be pronounced St-Amggggggrrrroise.
I usually end up calling it St-Ambwoise, but than it sounds so ridiculous that I'm embarassed when people asking me this out loud.
I try to roll my "r" - St-Ambrrrroise" but than I end up sounding like a complete idiot, like some medieval European swashbuckler. So I just don't say my street name.
The last incident this occured in, was when I had to return an electronic razor and the store asked for my address for the warranty receipt. I had to repeat it 3 times cause the woman didn't understanbd what I was saying. :b
