I find it interesting that British English speakers are much more likely to pronounce the english sounding version rather than close to how it sounds in the original language.
For example, pretty much across the board I hear "filet" pronounced with the 't' in British English. But Americans almost always a silent 't' like the French.
- Vinnl 7y agoYour comment led me to check: although there's just a few British persons saying filet, they all pronounce it the "English way", except when it precedes "mignon". Which makes sense, I guess.
