    Not that I would ever claim to know every French pastry, but I’m reasonably certain that there’s nothing in all of France or in the French language named ‘cwah-sont’.

          It’s as close as some English speakers can get. Some people can’t make foreign sounds. The ‘sant’ ‘sont’ ending is not right either, its more like a sohn ending with imperceptible nasal n. But again have you heard people to to speak a foreign language, it usually sounds terrible.

            Switzerland … English is not my first or second language. Do you not find those English pronunciations there in the video bizarre?

              The British English I can’t say I have hears a Brit say it. The first American one sounds right to me as does the Australian one for how we’d probably here it in Canada dltoo
