Pronunciation of "Le"

Our friend Ken brought up a good point. He suggested that the pronunciation of the article "le" be written as (luh) and not (leh) as i have been posting. This is tough either way. I may go with both. But remember. My posts are taken with a grain of salt as far as pronunciation goes. I am trying to learn myself how to speak French properly, but I realize I will always speak as an Amercain speaking the language and I have no pretensions of thinking that I would speak as well as any French native. All I'm trying to do is learn the language enough so I can communicate reasonably well if I ever get the chance to go to France. So, if you are learning with me, use this as a fun way of learning, but also use this as an addition to listening to French tapes, French movies, etc. to get the sense of how the language really sounds.

"le" itself is tough to put into words. It sort of sounds like "luh" but not drawn out. It's as if you are saying it real fast & cutting it off before you finish the word. Whether you say it as "luh" or "leh" try to always say it fast and it will sound allright. I will be posting an actual sound of the word soon as an example. Hope that helps.
