[nascarcheshirecat]

[megveg]

la sell e ay is the french way to say it... and the the post about narcoosees being a dead people place to eat had me laughing so hard haha

When I called to make ADR for Akershus I hesitated and then I tried it, slaughtered it, and laughed. Then I asked the CM how you pronounce it. She said, "Well, I pronounce it - 'Princess Storybook Dinner'. " They don't even know!!

Biergarten is pronounced as it looks. I took 2 years of German in high school, lol. I even got 4th place in stat in a German speaking competition. Note: In German, if it is "ie" you pronounce the "e", "ei" you pronounce the "i" (like in the word nein).

Well as a second grade teacher, this is the opposite of the all important american language rule that "if two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking!"

I had to ask DH, he remembers. This is the best way he could think to type it

Ahker-Shuss

Hope that helps. Boy was I off. He said the way I said it sounds like a "bad word" . When I told our waiter how I thought it was pronounced, he laughed and said everyone has trouble. Funny thing, the ADR people never corrected me, maybe it's just as tough for them, or they are used to no one saying it right.

He did good! Check out this link, you can actually hear the pronunciation.

I believe Le Cellier is difficult to explain.

The e in Le does not sound like a short vowel e (nor a long vowel e). As a matter of fact, it doesn't sound like any english vowel. It's also difficult to find a word in english that sounds like this e (en francais). (Sorry, not much help).

However Cellier is pronounced "sell yay".

I call it Princess Storybook Dinner as well.

I call it Princess Storybook Dinner as well.

I use to say... we're eating at Norway. We don't eat there now that the Princesses have taken it over. It use to be one of our favorites.

 

[WriteDisney]

Before we ate there for the first time in 2007 we said.. le cell-ye-air

once we ate there and heard the correct way.. we say.. le cell-yay

 

[WriteDisney]

Okay but what about Narcoossee's? It sounds like somewhere dead people eat.

Isn't it pronounced like its spelled?

Example: Nar-coo-ssee's

 

[MickeyCrazed]

If I can't pronounce a particular restaurant's name, I simply say, "I'd like to make an ADR for the restaurant in Germany." Works every time!

 

[autumnpalm]

Le Cellier = le cell-yay
Akershus = ah ker shuss
Biergarten = beer gar ten

This is way to funny. It had me laughing til I cried.

I know ..as soon as I was the first one to reply I knew this thread would be hysterical.

As a former MK guest relations cast member, I can tell you that they actually "trained" us on how to pronouce things and they told us that this was
LA-CELL-E-A
Also
AK-ER-SHOOSH
and
NAR-COO-SEES
the last one is easy
BEER-GARTEN

It was my favorite day of training, okay that and the appropriate table manners lessons where they had us practice on a Twinkee, but I think that some of these are cast member conventions as some of the international program cast member used to laugh at us for a lot of them, LOL!

I know. German is so weird. But fun. It was a trip learning the part of The Bremen Town (Den Bremen Stadtmusikanten) musicians that I learned in German for the contest.

 

[dementia412]

Ah see I've been saying Nar-co-sis like it's gonna put me to sleep. Nar-coo-sees sounds much better.

I say lay-sell-yea with just a touch of an r'ish sound at the end

I know someone who can't say Epcot, she says Ebcod, but English isn't her first language.

 

[kateydid]

i couldn't come up with a good way to explain how to pronounce "le" so i found an audio clip: http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/french/lj/pronunciation/e.shtml (click on the first little speaker button and "le" is the first one they say)

 

[dementia412]

it sounds like l-uh
