I know how to pronoucne it, so I will try to spell it like it sounds


Co-may day gare-son


 


gare ryhmes with care


son sounds like phone


When you say it with out the French accent it sounds a little funny. I hope this helps.

actually, you wouldn't pronounce the -ay at the end of comme.  It would sound more like calm without the l in it.  then des is day, and the garcons would be like gar (rhymes with car) + son is pronounced like sonic without the -ic.  Hope to help!

lynnie is right - there's no 'ay' sound on the end of 'comme' and garcons is also just how lynnie said...
