CORRECT Pronunciation of "Cuirassier"
Between watching streamers and the casting of tournaments on ESOCommunity it seems like i've heard "Cuirassier" pronounced every kind of possible way. Having family in France I checked on the correct way to say it and it is as such...

That does not sounds at all like the French pronunciation.
But I guess you can not ask more from English-speaking people.

That's also how I'd say it. Though I'm only an Englishman (apparently my accent is quite good though).

Re: CORRECT Pronunciation of "Cuirassier"
Smart way is to say gendarme if you can't pronounce "Cuirassier".

The suffix isn't seer, the word does not end with an r, instead its more like -yieh

Re: CORRECT Pronunciation of "Cuirassier"
Thanks for the imput but im not french nor have a french accent second theres like 50 pronunciations online. Third the cuirassier wears a cuirass and so i just say cuirass then stick on a "ier" at the end of it while maintaining the hard 'ss' sound in the middle. Its just my accent, im not going to go all frenchy-baguettey. If it was spelt the same as it sounded then i might have a chance here.

If it was pronounced how it is read, I would read it more easily.I_HaRRiiSoN_I wrote: If it was spelt the same as it sounded then i might have a chance here.
I don't think English people can complain about French pronunciation...
