Oh my god I still don’t know how tf I’m supposed to pronounce “banal” in English. It’s funny because I’m noticing a lot of these words ppl struggled with are French (chagrin, hors d’œuvre, façade, etc).

I learned hors d'oeuvre from books and in my head I pronounced it "whores de vore." I don't think I even made the connection from the written version to the spoken French version (which I had heard) until well into my late teens 😅

I still like to say "horse doovers" for fun.
