How do you pronounce Jean Paul Sartre's name? Specifically the Sartre part...?

thanks!|||Zhan Paul Sartruh with just the slightest ruh. It almost sounds like Sart, but the ruh sound is barely there.|||Jean: Sounds like John.


Paul : Paul


Sartre: pronounce Sartre like this "SART" as in the word "art" with a "s"|||Sar-tur|||"sart- ruff" minus the "uff"|||Timberwolf has it right, except of course there's a theory that the French and their progeny in Qubec have an extra organ in their airway to allow them to pronounce those R sounds that have no equivalent in the rest of the world.|||the first part, jean, is kind of like a shh souns, but more of a buzzing, so you'd say it with the sound like john, then paul, then you'd say Sat with a little bit of a roll between the a and t, and then you roll the r at the end. it's really difficult to explain, but i'm in french and I'm good with pronouncing things.|||Jean ... sort of like John only the "J" is soft, almost like a "Z". Paul is just Paul and the Satre. Sort of like "sat" only with a slight gurgle sound at the end. Geez, I never realized how difficult it was to describe in words only how to pronounce something.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Paul_S鈥?/a>
