Correct pronunciation of Caudron

I usually hear it pronounced like a witch's cauldron without the L, but I've also heard it pronounced as Ca-Drone with the emphasis in the second half. Which way is correct?

In French is the correct way :drink3:

And let me try to explain it to an American:

you take the "cou" from "could"
the "dr" from "drive"
the "o" from "oh"
you take the "n" and let it sound a bit link the "ng" from "wrong", but you swallow it more.
Should produce something vaguely resembling the right pronunciation.

Sorry,but "cou" is not "cau"...

Pronounce the 'Cau' as in 'Co-ed'!

What about the emphasis? COH-drong or coh-DRONG?

"Caw-Drun" is how I've always heard it pronounced...

You can use google translate. Write caudron in the area to be translated. Then use the button at the bottom right of the window.

The word to be translated must be written as a French word to translate into English.

one of the best well knowned CAUDRON plane is the SIMOUN (desert strong Wind)
you can pronounce SIMOUN as SEE MOON.
your french is improving.

While Klingon doesn't use the typical letter "C" is does include the silent "g".
