How do you pronounce "Gerard" in French, properly?

I have an interview with a frenchman his name is Gerard I would like to address him properly.

It kinda sounds like Zher-ahhd. The G is a soft g/j sound and and the emphasis is on the second syllable - "ahhd." I would suggest attempting to say his name and then immediately asking whether you said it correctly. He will appreciate the effort. Good luck on your interview.

As for not pronouncing the d - you don't - but don't leave the h hanging completely either...

It sounds like "zhErAr", without the hearing the final "D"...But if the person is your interviewer, you should know that french people are very polite, meaning you should call them by their first name (familly name) and not by their given name (the case here Gerard). Good luck!

no it doesn't sound like zee-rar!!
The d is silent, you can pronounce it jay-rar! (not "djay", but jay)
Anyway you should call it "Mister ..." with his family name, as showingthowra said


tngkp
the "d" is silent.


n0h0pe
zheer-are

don't pronounce the d at the end

I agree, it doesn't sound at all like zee-rar, no way...
You should more pronounce it like 'Jay -rrarr' and pronounce the 'ay' of Jay like the 'é' in "Attaché-case'

Cheese eating surrender monkey. If that does not work try Fart sniffing Butt Pirate. He should perk up to one of those. Good luck!
