Original Pronunciation of "Entrepreneur" ? Dear all,
As you all know, the word of "Entrepreneur" originated from French, I understand its pronuniciation in English ɒntr ə prə ˈnɜː, but I wanted to know if it's same as the original French pronunciation. Please advise.

Though it's recognisable, and - unlike a lot of French borrowings into English - at least we get the stress right. The /t/ and the /p/ are similar; everything else is different.
