How to Pronounce Limoges

Limoges is a city in central France that is located about 245 miles south of Paris. Limoges is well known for its porcelain and oak barrels used for making cognac. When pronouncing French words, you should break the words into simple parts and focus on understanding how to pronounce French letters. French is a difficult language, but with extra direction you can learn how to pronounce "Limoges."

Instructions

    • 1

      Break the word into three parts: "li," "mo" and "ges." The first part is pronounced "lee."

    • 2

      Pronounce the second part, "mo," like it is spelled. This is the same pronunciation as the "mo" in "Mohawk" or "mohair."

    • 3

      Drop the "s" in the third part, so you will only be pronouncing "ge." This is similar to a "zh" sound. In French, you do not pronounce a consonant at the end of a word. Say the three parts fluently for the correct pronunciation of Limoges: lee-mohzh.
