What is the right way to say croissant?
The correct French pronunciation of croissant is “kwa-son.” This is because T’s at the end of French words are usually silent (unless it’s two T’s and an E like in baguette).
How do the British pronounce croissant?
Why do Americans pronounce the r in croissant?
‘Croissant‘ is a loan word in English. Americans say this word in English with an American accent. No native French speaker would hear an English person asking for a croissant and think ‘ah, that’s the perfectly correct French pronunciation,’ because it’s not pronounced as in French. It just sounds very English.
