****It's French. Therefore unpronounceable.

I think you may have it right in this case ASp.

Trompe l'oeil is nearly impossible to translate phonetically into English.

It's the "l'oeil" that's the kicker.

Trompe is easy...pronounced like Trump (as in Donald Trump) but substitute the U with the same O as in HOME

The sound of "l'oeil" is a combination of "LE" (as in all those fancy French restaurants...Le Petit Chat, Le Café...) and the "Y" in "Yes" but with the slight roll you get with double Ls of the Spanish language.


Not sure that makes it any clearer.

(please disregard any errors in keys...Hubby has "restarted" my computer and I can't find most of my punctuations.)
