Question
could you please write out, Phonetically how I would pronounce:

" Tru blood. Le Sang de la passion"

Thankyou so much

Answer
Hi Julie,

It is always difficult to explain how to pronounce things without an audio explanation. "Le sang de la passion" contains 2 vowels that do not exist in English, what is called nasal vowels.
I found an audio file for sang: http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/sang.wav

As for passion it can pronounced as pass-yon

on is a specific vowel in French, like in oncle:
http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/oncle.wav

then the sentence is pronounced:

le san de la pass-yon

I hope this helps

Cheers

Caro
