I'm interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.

[–] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it's pronounced correctly in American

I pronounce it bore-zhwah. Is that wrong?

French pronounce the "ou" as is "tour". But you do you.
