Good, that's nearly the correct pronunciation. Most of your compatriots
cannot say this correctly. ;-)


How about the "Lionel" part. For the english oriented it would be
"lyin-ill"; think of the words "lying" and "ill", and puit'em together,
with slightly less stress on the last "l" (no pun intended).

How do the frenchies pronounce "Lionel"? Let me take a wild guess:
"lee-o-nej" ?
