How's the G in Givenchy get pronounced? is it like the G in Grapes or the G in Geography?

Dear Farrel D: Neither. Farrel, now follow me as I tell you the sounds to produce. Just follow this, and you will have it. The "G" in Givenchy is pronounced, by the French, as: "she" - a SSH sound. Now make the "she" sound a tad bit HARSHER by using a "J" in place of the "S". Using the ssh sound, say :Jee." Now, you should have it !





Also, the "ven" portion of the name is pronounced as: "Vaughn."





Last, the "chy" part of the name is pronounced close to "she."





French is the most beautiful of all languages.





Best regards, Lana|||Dear Farrell: YOU are a very appreciative person. So am I ! People get more "zing" out of life when they are appreciative of the efforts of others toward them. Thank you, Farrell - YOU ROCK yourself, fella !
